Numbers and families of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) detected in all studied strains, compared to the well-known producers S. coelicolor and S. clavuligerus. Plant pathogens are marked in green, animal and opportunistic pathogens in orange and human pathogens in red. a Total number of BGCs predicted by antiSMASH, including ClusterFinder. On top of each bar, numbers represent the size of each genome in Mb. b BGCs predicted by antiSMASH to code for known families of biosynthetic pathways. On top of each bar, proportion of described gene clusters from each strain. It can be observed that the proportion of NRPS BGCs in Rhodococcus compared to other types of molecules is much higher, especially in R. jostii RHA1 and R. opacus strains. (T3PK: Type III polyketide. T2PK: Type II polyketide, T1PK = Type I polyketide, PK: Polyketide. NRP: nonribosomal peptide. RiPP: ribosomally synthetized and posttranslationally modified peptide)
