Exporter of Natamycin, white Natamycin also known as pimaricin, is a naturally occurring antifungal agent produced during fermentation by the bacterium Streptomyces natalensis, commonly found in soil. Natamycin has a very low solubility in water, due to the amphiphilic nature of the molecule. However, natamycin is effective at very low levels. Most Molds have an MIC (Minimum inhibitory concentration) of <10ppm. Natamycin is classified as a macrolide polyene antifungal and, as a drug, is used to treat fungal keratitis. It is especially effective against Aspergillus and Fusarium corneal infections.
