Saccharopolyspora erythraea
Species of bacterium
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.[5]
