to be confused: Cereulide is an emetictoxin produced by Bacillus cereus through an unusual non‐ribosomal peptide synthesis, whereas valinomycin, produced by Streptomyces fulvissimus, is a known antibiotic drug. Cereulide has a greater complexation ability with metal ions than valinomycin and also exhibits a K+‐ion‐selective ionophore property at lower concentrations than valinomycin.
