We study Darboux and Christo el transforms of isothermic surfaces in Euclidean space. Using quaternionic calculus we derive a Riccati type equation which characterizes all Darboux transforms of a given isothermic surface. Surfaces of constant mean curvature turn out to be special among all isothermic surfaces: their parallel surfaces of constant mean curvature are Christo el and Darboux transforms at the same time. We prove | as a generalization of Bianchi's theorem on minimal Darboux transforms of minimal surfaces | that constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean space allow 1 3 Darboux transforms into surfaces of constant mean curvature. We indicate the relation between these Darboux transforms and Backlund transforms of spherical surfaces. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classi cation: (Primary) 53A10, (Secondary) 53A50, 53C42.
