Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty prove that DNA carries genetic information... [Pg.145]

Mescher and many others suspected that nuclein (nucleic acid) was associated in some way with cell inheritance, but the first direct evidence that DNA is the bearer of genetic information came in 1944 through a discovery made by Oswald T. Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty. These investigators found that DNA extracted from a virulent (disease-causing) strain of the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as pneumococcus, genetically transformed a nonvirulent strain of this organism into a virulent form (Fig. 8-12). [Pg.280]
