They showed that DNA carries genetic information.
They used E. coli or Escherichia coli in their experiments
According to my bio book, I think it's Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, in the HERSHEY-CHASE experiment.
Hershey and Chase observed that DNA is the identity of the hereditary material in phage T2. Hershey and Chase used radioactive labels to mark the protein of the bacteriaphage in one experiment and the DNA in another.

The Hershey-Chase experiment was important because it provided definitive evidence that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material responsible for transmitting hereditary traits. This experiment helped establish the central role of DNA in molecular biology and genetics. It also supported the theory that genetic information is encoded in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA molecules.
