What is the name of the process that was involved in changing griffith's r bacteria to s bacteria?
Transformation
Why were the S bacteria not the R bacteria virulent?
The S bacteria are surrounded by a capsule, so it is not engulfed by the host's white blood cells. That means that it is able to proliferate and spread. The R bacteria lack the capsule (like the mutant S bacteria), so the white blood cells are able to detect and eliminate them.

Why was the mixture of heat killed s bacteria and r bacteria virulent?
The live R bacteria acquired a capsule and became live, virulent S bacteria.
What is the difference between r and s bacteria?
