What these status tags mean
Curation status describes a workflow state. SEEDED means the record entered through the source-seeding workflow; it does not imply that no later curation occurred. PROPOSED marks an addition awaiting review; REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record. These are workflow decisions, not independently verified human review. Agent-assisted contributions may appear in the record history.
Grounding describes the identifier mapping: EXACT uses an ontology identity asserted by the source; MINTED keeps a local identifier when no defensible ontology identity is available; REVIEW_NEEDED flags an exact structure whose ontology identity needs adjudication. The grounding note retains any unresolved alternatives. These tags do not establish the strength of producer or activity evidence.

Filing pathway
Polyketides — computed by NPClassifier npclassifier.gnps2.org@2026-09-07, which is why it is pinned rather than recomputed. The gene cluster's asserted class is pks, from MIBiG.

A claim that this taxon makes the compound. The basis says what the evidence addressed — a knockout and a database assertion are not the same claim.

A locus claim and a taxon claim are different questions. Heterologous expression settles the first and leaves the second where the isolation report left it.

Causal graph — biosynthesis 4 nodes, 3 edges
Partial Micromonospora echinospora calicheamicin biosynthesis graph for inferred CalO3-catalyzed iodination of an orsellinic acid-derived carrier thioester.
| Subject | Predicate | Object | Notes | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| orsellinic acid-derived carrier thioester | is iodinated by | CalO3 flavin-dependent halogenase | MITE represents CalO3 iodination as an inferred reaction for either a CoA-bound or 4'-phosphopantetheine-bound orsellinic acid derivative; the exact carrier form is not distinguished here. | https://mite.bioinformatics.nl/repository/MITE0000005 |
| flavin mononucleotide | serves as organic cofactor for | CalO3 flavin-dependent halogenase | MITE lists flavin mononucleotide as CalO3's organic cofactor for the inferred iodination reaction. | https://mite.bioinformatics.nl/repository/MITE0000005 |
| CalO3 flavin-dependent halogenase | forms | iodinated orsellinic acid-derived carrier thioester | MITE's CalO3 reaction SMARTS add iodine to the aromatic ring of the carrier-tethered orsellinic acid derivative; both represented products remain pathway intermediates. | https://mite.bioinformatics.nl/repository/MITE0000005 |
