Data Sheet

|
|
When
was Natamycin found?
|
|
Natamycin
(Pimaricin) is an antifungal which was first isolated in
1955 from Streptomyces Natalensis (a micro organism found
in a soil sample from State of Natal, South Africa).
|
|
|
|
How does
Natamycin work?
|
|
Natamycin
binds to and alters the fungal cell membrane so that vital
structures inside the cell pass though the membrane and
out of the cell. Without these structures, the fungal
cells cannot survive.
