Hygroscopic water occurs in the form of thin films around the colloidal soil particles. Whereas the water that is retained in minute interstitial spaces in the form of thin films surrounding the soil particles, is known as capillary water. Hygroscopic water is retained even when whole of the capillary water is lost from the soil.

In 1957, Pardee, Jacob & Monod performed the following bacterial conjugation experiment: Hfr lacI+ Z+ x F- lacI- Z-. They found that the F- cells began to express galactosidase (the lacZ gene product) soon after conjugation. After about 30 minutes, galactosidase production fell. However, when the reverse cross, Hfr lacI- Z- x F- lacI+ Z+, was carried out, lacZ was not expressed at any time. They concluded that:
  1. lacI encodes a product that acts to turn off lacZ expression.
  2. Hfr cells but not F- cells can express the lac operon.
  3. F- cells but not Hfr cells can express the lac operon.
  4. Inducibility is a property of the galactosidase protein.
  5. lacI encodes an inducer of lac gene expression.
