I have DH10b, which I have supplied as a ready-made chemical competent. Can I make this bacteria electrocompetent after culturing it on LB agar (without antibiotic)? Or do I need to make it chemically competent again?
Once you streak it out on LB plates and pick a colony, there is no memory of its history. So you can make it electrocompetent, chemically competent, or just grow it.
