Abstract
Periodic minimal surfaces model a large variety of mesophases and crystals of films in ternary liquid systems typically composed of water, soap and oil. First I describe the Bonnet transformation with emphasis on the crystallographic aspects which are specific to periodic minimal surfaces. Then I consider other transformations which are non isometric but preserve minimality.
