## Abstract Zervamicin IIB (ZER) is a 16‐mer peptaibol that produces voltage‐dependent conductances in artificial membranes, a property considered responsible for its antimicrobial activity to mainly __Gram__‐positive microorganisms. In addition, ZER appears to inhibit the locomotor activity of the
