title: Draft Genome Sequence of Linfuranone Producer Microbispora sp. GMKU 363.
abstract: Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Microbispora sp. GMKU 363, a plant-derived actinomycete that produces linfuranone A, a linear polyketide modified with a furanone ring possessing adipocyte differentiation inducing activity. The biosynthetic gene cluster for linfuranone was identified by analyzing polyketide synthase genes in the genome.
