Answer / moumita
Nigericin is an antibiotic derived from Streptomyces
hygroscopicus.Nigericin acts as an H+, K+, Pb2+ ionophore.
Most commonly it is an antiporter of H+ and K+.
In the past nigericin was used as an antibiotic active
against gram positive bacteria. It inhibits the Golgi
functions. Nigericin exhibits anti-HIV activity.

It acts as an ionophore for k+ but in exchange for h+
abolishes the ph gradient across the membrane.in the
presence of both valinomycin and nigericin both the membrane
potential and ph gradient are eliminated and phosphorylation
is completly inhibited.
