Transform coli with two or more plasmids - Transformation (Oct/13/2004 )

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to transform E. coli with two different plasmids. Would coli accept a second plasmid after being transformed with a first one and made competent again? Or would it be possible to transform with two or more plasmids at the same time?

Thanks

Als check this site http://www.mun.ca/biochem/courses/4103/topics/plasmids.html. Depending on their compatibility, some plasmids can coexist in the same cell, some cannot.
