Nigericin is an antibiotic derived from S. hygroscopicus that acts as a potassium ionophore promoting K+/H+ exchange across mitochondrial membranes. Nigericin can be used as a research tool to disrupt intracellular H+ and K+ concentration, thus altering pH, membrane potential, and cell volume.{20889,20888,20891} At 10 μM, nigericin induces egress of T. gondii parasites by inducing efflux of K+.{20890}
