This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0001589) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, saccharide, in particular the exopolysaccharides biosynthetic gene cluster from Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 [1]. This family appears to be predominantly found in Proteobacteria.
