Griffiths (1928) mixed heat-killed ‘S’ bacteria with ‘R’ bacteria and injected a mouse with both types of bacteria.
As a result, the mouse died and Griffiths obtained living ‘S’ bacteria from the dead mouse.
How can you explain this phenomenon?

The experiment showed that after inactivating the cell with heat, the DNA was intact, and through a transformation process, or what we know now as Horizontal transference of genes, the R bacteria could adapt the genetic features that allowed the S bacteria to kill the mouse.
