Meselson and Stahl fed E. coli ammonia laced with heavy nitrogen in which each atom carried a fifteenth neutron. After the bacteria had reproduced for many generations, they extracted some DNA and spun it in a centrifuge. By measuring how far the DNA moved as it was spun, they could calculate its weight. They could see that the DNA from E. coli rai

Meselson and Stahl then ran a second version of the experiment. They moved some of the heavy-nitrogen E. coli into a flask where they could feed on normal nitrogen, with only fourteen neutrons apiece. The bacteria had just enough time to divide once before Meselson and Stahl tossed their DNA in the centrifuge. If Watson and Crick were right about h
