Natamycin is a naturally occurring macrolide polyene antifungal agent produced during fermentation by the bacterium S. natalensis, commonly found in soil. With minimal inhibitory concentrations ranging from 4-64 ?M, natamycin is used to treat fungal infections, including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.{21495,21492,21494} Natamycin blocks fungal growth by binding specifically to ergosterol with an apparent affinity of ~100 ?M, but it does not permeabilize cell membranes as other polyene antibiotics are known to do.{21492} Natamycin is also used in the food industry as a preservative.{21493}
