Abstract Quantitative models of bacterial conjugation are useful tools in environmental risk assessment and in studies of the ecology and evolution of bacterial communities. We constructed a mathematical model for gene transfer between bacteria growing on a solid surface. The model considers that do
Low-rate dynamic contact angles of nine liquids on a poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer are measured by an automated axisymmetric drop shape analysis-profile (ADSA-P). It is found that two liquids dissolved the polymer on contact. From the experimental contact angles of the other seven polar
