This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0000700) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, saccharide, in particular the istamycin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces tenjimariensis [1]. This family appears to be predominantly found in actinobacteria.
