Bacterial cells that can take up the foreign DNA from the surroundings by a process called transformation are known as competent cells. These cells can be made competent by calcium chloride and heat shock treatment. Cells growing rapidly can be made competent more easily than those in other stages of growth. Competent cells have altered cell walls that allow DNA to easily pass through it. For instance, some cells need to be exposed to some chemical or electrical treatments to make them competent. Bacterial cells can also take up DNA through a process called electroporation. They are routinely used in molecular cloning to propagate and maintain cloned DNA in plasmids.
