Frederick Griffith discovered Transformation doing lab experiments in the 1930's. He initially based his work of Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, and discovered more as he experimented of lab mice.
Frederick Griffith discovered the phenomenon wherein exogenous DNA of heat killed virulent bacteria was taken up by a similar but non-virulent bacteria. This resulted in the transformation of the living bacterial cells into the virulent variety. This was prior to the understanding that DNA was the genetic material and the hereditary information passed onto the living bacteria was referred to as the "transforming principle."

Scientists did not know how traits were inherited.
Frederick Griffith, a British bacteriologist, focused on the epidemiology and pathology of bacterial pneumonia. He showed that Streptococcus pneumonia, implicated in many cases of lobar pneumonia,[2] could transform from one strain into a different strain. This was later identified as DNA.
By injecting mice with pneumococcus bacteria that had first been heated, Griffith proved genetic material was environmentally heritable. Please see link below for detailed treatment.

The scientist responsible for the discovery of bacteria is Griffith.
The genetic transformation experiment was done by Frederick Griffith, an English physician. .
Frederick Griffith
True.
it's called transformation!! lol
No, Frederick Griffith did not receive the Nobel Prize for his work on transformation in bacteria.
Griffith did not win any awards.
Frederick Griffith is credited with discovering the hereditary system involving transformation in bacteria. In his experiments with Streptococcus pneumoniae in 1928, Griffith observed that genetic material could be transferred between different strains of bacteria, influencing their traits. This discovery laid the foundation for understanding DNA as the hereditary material.
