Background: Many animals and plants acquire their coevolved symbiotic partners shortly post-embryonic development. Thus, during embryogenesis, cellular features must be developed that will promote both symbiont colonization of the appropriate tissues, as well as persistence at those sites. While variation in the degree of maturation occurs in newborn tissues, little is unknown about how this variation influences the establishment and persistence of host-microbe associations.

Squid giant axons are voltage-clamped with decaying ramp, hyperbolic, and exponential potential functions to determine an input potential function that generates parametric current density vs. membrane potential (I-V) plots best approximating the I-V curves generated from the steady state delayed (K+) current densities at a series of step clamp potentials. The optimum potential function must produce consistent I-V plots over an extended range of decay periods.
