Who discovered that harmless bacteria could turn virulent when mixed with bacteria that caused the disease through the exchange of a transforming factor?

Frederick Griffith (c. 1879 - 1941)


How does Frederick Griffith's experiment demonstrate transformation?

Frederick Griffith's experiment showed that genetic material could be transferred between different strains of bacteria, leading to a change in their characteristics. This transfer of genetic material is known as transformation, which was demonstrated when the nonvirulent strain of bacteria was transformed into a virulent one after being in contact with genetic material from the virulent strain.
