A theorem of Mader shows that every graph with average degree at least eight has a K 6 minor, and this is false if we replace eight by any smaller constant. Replacing average degree by minimum degree seems to make little difference: we do not know whether all graphs with minimum degree at least seven have K 6 minors, but minimum degree six is certainly not enough. For every ε> 0 there are arbitrarily large graphs with average degree at least 8− ε and minimum degree at least six, with no K 6 minor. But what if we restrict ourselves to bipartite graphs? The first statement remains true: for every ε> 0 there are arbitrarily large bipartite graphs with average degree at least 8− ε and no K 6 minor. But surprisingly, going to minimum degree now makes a significant difference. We will show that every bipartite graph with minimum degree at least six has a K 6 minor. Indeed, it is enough that every vertex in the larger part of the bipartition has degree at least six.
