Abstract
The chronology for the main stages of studying bacterial genetic transformation is presented. Streptococci (pneumococci in particular) were used as the model organisms. Recent data on the mechanisms of releasing DNA from bacterial cells and the role of natural transformation in the horizontal transfer of genes are considered.
