Natamycin, a natural antifungal agent produced by Streptomyces natalensis, has become a cornerstone in food preservation and healthcare. Here's why this "guardian molecule" matters:  

1. Food Preservation

Widely used in dairy products like cheese and yogurt, natamycin prevents mold and yeast growth on surfaces without penetrating the food. Unlike chemical preservatives, it leaves beneficial bacteria untouched—making it ideal for fermented foods where bacterial activity is crucial.  

2. Bakery & Meat Protection

It extends shelf life in baked goods and cured meats by inhibiting fungal contamination, reducing food waste while maintaining product quality.  

3. Medical Applications

In ophthalmology, natamycin eye drops treat fungal keratitis, a serious eye infection. Its targeted action minimizes systemic side effects.
