This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0000144) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, polyketide, in particular the salinomycin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces albus [1]. This family appears to be predominantly found in Actinobacteria.
