This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0000703) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, saccharide, in particular the kanamycin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces kanamyceticus [1]. This family appears to be predominantly found in bacteria and archaea.
