In the 1920s, A British researchers named Frederick Griffith studied bacterial pneumonia to find a vaccine for it. The specific bacteria was Streptococcus pneumoniae. Using streaking on a cultured Petri dish, the batterie was seperated into two strains, or colonies. The R-Strain was rough, and when injector into mice, it did not cause pneumonia, but the S-strain was smooth and slimy, and caused lethal pneumonia when injected. When the S-Strain was killed by heat, it did not cause sickness, but…

Bacteria They are formed by a single rudimentary cell. They have no nucleus or plastids, but chromatin. Some have assimilators pigments. They are on earth, water, and air, and can generally move. They may be causing disease and therefore are called pathogens. Those that do not cause disease are called saprophytes. In some cases, they are even useful, as in digestive processes or synthesis of vitamins. By the way, they are called coconuts when circular; bacilli if they have the form of rods;…
