sorry malinda I read about trnasformation somewhere but I forgot now. But I only understand that transformation leads to modification of at least one of the characters of the recipient cells. S. Pneumoniae is first reported about transformation. Then HI, Bacillus Subtitis were reported. Of above choices, it can be E. Coli or Plasmodium. If not Plamodium, it's E.Coli

I actually never read this concept in any book ever.The explaination says transformation is the method by which a bacteria aquires a DNA from outside like plasmids.The bacteria that sow transformation are 1.streptococcus 2.neisseria 3.H influeza 4.H pylori these 4 are NATURAL transformers.

iam also very vague on this concept....but i found this website....picked up one point that the four listed above by MALINDA maybe naturally transformable bacteria. On the other hand E.coli undergoes induced-transformation....thus used with restriction endonucleases to clone human DNA and sequence it for the HGP....so on so forth... http://www.bact.wisc.edu/Bact370/transform.html
