Droplet size and surface hydrophobicity enhance bacterial plasmid transfer rates in microscopic surface wetness

Conjugal plasmids constitute a major engine for horizontal gene transfer in bacteria, and are key drivers of the spread of antibiotic resistance, virulence, and metabolic functions. Bacteria in terrestrial habitats often inhabit surfaces that are not constantly water-saturated, where microscopic sur...
