Natamycin is a fungicide used to keep cheese from getting moldy. It works by making holes in the cell membranes of fungi, so their insides leak out. It is produced by Streptomyces natalensis bacteria.

Some manufacturers use it in the wax coating on cheese rinds, instead of putting on the cheese itself.
