Natamycin. Natamycin or pimaricin (2) is a polyene with only four conjugated double bonds. This tetraene is obtained from Streptomyces natalensis. Like the other polyenes, pimaricin induces K+ release from cells with membranes containing 20—40 mol % ergosterol. This is also the ergosterol concentration in the membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

In most fungi, lichens and algae, ergosterol (mycosterol) occurs. This was isolated from ergot fungus (most prominent member Claviceps purpurea) in 1889 by the Parisian apothecary Gharles Tanret (1847-1917). It is the main sterol in baker s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and acts as provitamin D (Fig. 6.5). [7]... 

The content of ergosterol in the species and strains of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (active dried yeast, a type of yeast used to make dough rise in baking) varies within wide limits from 600 to 1500 p-g/kg (drymatter).
