Question
Chapter 11.1, Problem 1EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The characteristics of the S. pneumoniae strains that made them particularly well suited for the researcher's experiment.
Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae is an infectious bacterial species. Bacteria are unicellular organisms that lack a well-defined nuclear membrane. Streptococcus pneumoniae causes pneumonia in humans. The science that deals with a large-scale study of bacteria are termed as bacteriology
