FIG. 1. Observed vs. simulated transconjugant concentration in E. coli for donors initial concentration F+0 = 4.1 x 103 cell mL–1, recipient initial concentration F–0 = 7.6 x 106 cell mL–1, (lag) time spent in exhausted state ({tau}e) = 10 min, (lag) time spent in transconjugant state ({tau}T) = 34 min, and transconjugation rate kaz = 10–6 min–1 bacterium–1.
