Abstract

The genomes of 450 members of Burkholderiaceae, isolated from clinical and environmental sources, were sequenced and assembled as a resource for genome mining. Genomic analysis of the collection has enabled the identification of multiple metabolites and their biosynthetic gene clusters, including the antibiotics gladiolin, icosalide A, enacyloxin, and cepacin A.
