    Valinomycin

    Explanation:

    This antibiotic is acquired from the Streptomyces species cells. Valinomycin is selective to potassium and inhibits sodium ions from entering the cell. This antibiotic allows the potassium ions to move down the electrochemical potential gradient of the lipid membranes.
