Natamycin (Standard)

• UNSPSC Description:

  Natamycin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Natamycin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Natamycin (Pimaricin) is a macrolide antibiotic agent produced by several Streptomyces strains. Natamycin inhibits the growth of fungi via inhibition of amino acid and glucose transport across the plasma membrane. Natamycin is a food preservative, an antifungal agent in agriculture, and is widely used for fungal keratitis research[1][2].
