Answer:

<em>Clostridium perfringens</em>

Explanation:

<em>Clostridium perfringens</em> is a bacterium characterized by being a large, gram-positive, boxcar-shaped bacillus.

It is part of the facultative aerobic bacteria group (they can survive both in the presence or absence of oxygen) and is also a spore-forming bacterium (spores are small structures capable of generating new bacteria).

<em>Clostridium perfringens</em> can cause food poisoning, which results from the ingestion of contaminated food (usually meat and animal products) by the bacteria.

Once in the small intestine, the bacteria releases the toxin that usually causes diarrhea.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Griffith's experiment worked with two types of pneumococcal bacteria (a rough type and a smooth type) and identified that a "transforming principle"  could transform them from one type to another.

At first, bacteriologists suspected the transforming factor was a protein. The "transforming principle" could be precipitated with alcohol, which showed that it was not a carbohydrate. But Avery and McCarty observed that proteases (enzymes that degrade proteins) did not destroy the transforming principle. Neither did lipases (enzymes that digest lipids). Later they found that the transforming substance was made of nucleic acids but ribonuclease (which digests RNA) did not inactivate the substance. By this method, they were able to obtain small amounts of highly purified transforming principle, which they could then analyze through other tests to determine its identity, which corresponded to DNA.
