Abstract
A nonhemolytic strain of Staphylococcus aureus was transformed with deoxyribonucleic acid extracted from two hemolytic strains of S. aureus. In each case the hemolysin pattern after transformation was identical to that of the donor strain. However, bacteriophage type, serotypes, and other biological properties of the recipient strain remained unaffected.
