Saccharopolyspora erythraea is a species of actinomycete bacteria within the genus Saccharopolyspora.

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.
