We manufacture LAB M culture media and our supplement supply has also been
effected. Cycloheximide is only used to inhibit growth of Yeasts and Moulds.
We are evaluating supplements containing Natamycin instead of Cycloheximide
and expect it to be available within April.

Please e-mail me at dbond at idgplc.com with your address and we can get our
local agents to contact you with availability.
