What was 'transformed' in Griffith's experiment?
In Griffith's experiment, non-pathogenic bacteria were transformed into pathogenic bacteria by being exposed to heat-killed pathogenic bacteria, a process now known as transformation. This led to the discovery of genetic material transfer between bacteria.
Are most pathogenic bacteria gram-negative?
No, not all pathogenic bacteria are gram-negative. Pathogenic bacteria can be either gram-negative or gram-positive, depending on their cell wall structure. Some common gram-negative pathogenic bacteria include Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Neisseria meningitidis, while some gram-positive pathogenic bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis.
