Family:	Pseudonocardiaceae
Genus:	Saccharopolyspora
Species:	S. erythraea
Binomial name
Saccharopolyspora erythraea (Waksman 1923) Labeda 1987
Synonyms[1]
"Actinomyces erythreus" Waksman 1923 Streptomyces erythraeus (Waksman 1923) Waksman and Henrici 1948 (Approved Lists 1980)

Saccharopolyspora erythraea produces the macrolide antibiotic erythromycin.^[2] Cytochrome P450 eryF (CYP107A1) originally from the bacterium is responsible for the biosynthesis of the antibiotic by C6-hydroxylation of the macrolide 6-deoxyerythronolide B.^[3][4]

Small non-coding RNAs have been suggested to be involved in regulation of the secondary metabolite biosynthesis.^[5]
