Before integrating DNA with bacterial plasmid, Bacteria cells are treated with calcium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

DNA is a hydrophillic molecule which can not pass through the cell membrane, so to make it competent to take up DNA, bacterial cells should be treated with divalent cations or calcium so that DNA can enter through the pores of cell wall.
