06-A Griffith's Experiment (1928)
In 1928, English bacteriologist Frederick Griffith showed that some substance (he did not know what) conveyed traits (pathogenicity) from heat-killed bacteria to living bacteria without the trait. Smooth S-strain is pathogenic (deadly), Rough R-strain is non-pathogenic (harmless), and heat-killed S-strain is non-pathogenic.
