His experiment in 1928 with bacterium was the first to reveal the “transforming principle,” and this helped lead to the discovery of DNA being the carrier of genetic information. His experiment including infecting mice with 2 different bacteria, one that was lethal (virulent) and one that wasn’t (avirulent). He found that mice infected with either one were fine, however mice that had a mixture of both died. He found out that some chemical “transforming principle” had transferred the dead virulent cells into the avirulent cells and changed them

He discovered this by isolating the nitrogenous bases and then looking at them with a UV spectrophotometry.

Their experiments were on viruses that inflect bacteria. Their Waring Blender experiment provided concrete evidence that genes were made of DNA.
