Saccharopolyspora is a genus of bacteria within the family Pseudonocardiaceae. [3]
Spinosad is an insecticide based on chemical compounds found in the bacterial species Saccharopolyspora spinosa. The genus Saccharopolyspora was discovered in 1985 in isolates from crushed sugarcane. The bacteria produce yellowish-pink aerial hyphae, with bead-like chains of spores enclosed in a characteristic hairy sheath. This genus is defined as aerobic, Gram-positive, nonacid-fast actinomycetes with fragmenting substrate mycelium. S. spinosa was isolated from soil collected inside a nonoperational sugar mill rum still in the Virgin Islands. Spinosad is a mixture of chemical compounds in the spinosyn family that has a generalized structure consisting of a unique tetracyclic ring system attached to an amino sugar (D-forosamine) and a neutral sugar (tri-Ο-methyl-L-rhamnose). Spinosad is relatively nonpolar and not easily dissolved in water.
Saccharopolyspora erythraea, formerly known as Streptomyces erythraeus, is a species of actinomycete bacteria within the genus Saccharopolyspora.
Saccharopolyspora spinosa is a species of bacteria first isolated from a sugar mill rum still. Its pale yellowish pink aerial hyphae bear long chains of spores encased in spiny spore sheaths. Its type strain is A83543.1.

Saccharopolyspora phatthalungensis is a bacterium from the genus of Saccharopolyspora. It is closely related to Saccharopolyspora shandongensis and Saccharopolyspora spinosa, but was determined to be a unique species in 2010. It was collected by being isolated from rhizospheric soil from the tree Hevea brasiliensis in Phatthalung on Thailand.
