Model of dynamic HokB pore formation. Mature pores are formed when the membrane potential is high, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and leakage of intracellular ATP. Together, this will induce persistence. Intermediate pores are formed when the membrane potential is low. They collapse the membrane potential, thereby decreasing the cellular energy ratio.
