Progress of Competence Development in Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: can develop the capacity to take up transforming DNA and at the same time continue to grow for about 1½ to 3 h. Such growing competent cells are susceptible to penicillin. The competent cells, if allowed further growth, eventually become penicillin insensitive.
