Let us assume a simple and yet idealized bacterial population of $N$ individuals with a growth rate $\mu = 0$. The population will be sessile, which implies that the topology of network will be static and individuals cells will be distributed side by side conforming an interaction structure which could be abstracted by a linear graph as can be seen in Fig. ~\ref{fig:conjugation-delays}.   \begin{figure*}  \centering  \includegraphics[scale=0.6]{figures/paper-20(LinearGraph-0)v2.pdf}  \caption[Conjugation delays]{\label{fig:conjugation-delays} {\bf The scheme representing the imposed delay on bacterial networks}. The $B^r$ and $B^t$ are respectively the recipient and transconjugant bacterial nodes. The figure shows the meaning of forwarding delay which is the time elapsed since a bacteria $B^r_i$ is infected becoming a transconjugant $B^t_i$ and infect the next recipient cell $B^r_{i+1}$ in the linear graph shown.}  \end{figure*}
