The theoretical curve of the dependency of the conductivity increase on the electric field due to the increased permeabilized surface area according to the theoretical model (see Appendix). Field-dependent conductivity change calculated theoretically for high conductive medium (squares) and low conductive medium (circles), f = 0.3, under an assumption of constant membrane conductivity of the permeabilized area (solid line) or *taking into account the nonohmic behavior of the conductivity inside the pore using Eq. A.7 (dashed line) is shown. Values for membrane conductivity σm were chosen as obtained from experiments shown in Fig. 9 at E = 0.84 kV/cm), threshold electric field in both cases was set to 0.5 kV/cm according to our experimental results.
