Table 3 Estimates of the conjugation coefficients γ D and γ T (bacterium -1h -1 ) by the model with a single estimate for both donor and transconjugant ( γ = γ D = γ T ), and by the model with separate conjugation coefficients for donor and transconjugant ( γ D ≠ γ T )

  1. *AICc = Akaike’s Information Criterion corrected for a finite sample size n.
  2. AICc = AIC + 2 k (k + 1)/(n-k-1), in which k is the number of parameters in the model.
