some scientists to accept that DNA is the carrier of genetic information? Avery and his colleagues conducted a study to prove that DNA was indeed the carrier of the genetic data‚ not protein‚ as most scientist of that time would assume. Streptococcus pneumoniae‚ also called pneumococcus‚ was the subject of Avery’s experiment. These non-virulent bacteria had 2 types that do not convert spontaneously among each other‚ but when injected to a mice died. This

HOW TO WRITE AN UNKNOWN LAB REPORT IN MICROBIOLOGY GENERAL Unknown reports in microbiology are written in scientific format. Scientific writing is written differently from other types of writing. The results of the exercise or experiment are what are being showcased‚ not the writing. The purpose of scientific writing is not to entertain‚ but to inform. The writing should be simple and easy to understand. There is a specific style that must be followed when writing scientific reports.
