AWhat changed
Purified a pneumococcal transforming fraction and presented chemical and enzymatic evidence that its activity resided principally in DNA.
Scientific scope
Purified a pneumococcal transforming fraction and presented chemical and enzymatic evidence that its activity resided principally in DNA. Scope limitation: The result concerns the tested bacterial transformation system and the detection limits of the methods. It does not alone resolve every mechanism of heredity.
Evidence
Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. The result concerns the tested bacterial transformation system and the detection limits of the methods. It does not alone resolve every mechanism of heredity.
