Rutgers has a rich tradition of microbiology for over a century, starting with research on bovine tuberculosis and soildenitrification in the late 1800s and continuing with the founding of its microbiology department in 1901 and the award of the Nobel Prize to Selman Waksman in 1952. (rutgers.edu)
Confirmation of the momentous advance of the discovery of streptomycin was recognized through the award of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 1952 to Selman A. Waksman. (rutgers.edu)
American Society for3
Today the microbiology faculty include 13 members of the prestigious American Academy of Microbiology, 3 members of the National Academy of Science, one past president of the American Society for Microbiology, and the current editor-in-chief of FEMS Microbial Ecology. (rutgers.edu)
Martin Hall (Cook Campus) one of the world's special scientific treasures is designated as an American Chemical Society Historic Landmark and a Milestones in Microbiology by the American Society for Microbiology. (rutgers.edu)
We create the built environment with so many artificial materials," says Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello, a professor of microbiology and health at Rutgers University and a co-author on the study. (rutgers.edu)
Antibiotics1
[15] [17] These drugs were later renamed antibiotics by Selman Waksman , an American microbiologist, in 1947. (wikipedia.org)
Priluka1
Thus, Waksman paid trib-ute both to the Ukrainian black earth and to his melameds who taught him to read in the Priluka ched-er. (t-invariant.org)
Streptomycin, produced by Streptomyces griseus , was discovered by Schatz, Bugie and Waksman (1944) in the Department of SoilBacteriology (the first such department in the country, 1901) at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (today's School of Environmental and Biological Sciences), the culmination of a systematic search for antimicrobials from soil microbes and other sources developed by Waksman's group over several years. (rutgers.edu)
Griseus2
In his Nobel lec-ture , Waksman remind-ed that even then he select-ed one of the actin-o-mycete species and named it Actinomyces griseus. (t-invariant.org)
But this actin-o-mycete species, which was renamed Streptomyces griseus in 1943 and played an impor-tant role in the dis-cov-ery of strep-to-mycin, was not stud-ied in detail by Waksman in 1916. (t-invariant.org)
Microbiologist2
10 March 1867 - 21 April 1928) was a Russian microbiologist and author of the first original Russian text book on microbiology. (wikipedia.org)
He was invited by Dr. Lipman to return to Rutgers, where he received an appointment as microbiologist at the Experiment Station and as Lecturer in Soil Microbiology at the University. (nobelprize.org)
19161
But there was anoth-er rea-son why Waksman became fas-ci-nat-ed with these microor-gan-isms in 1916, when he was pur-su-ing his doc-tor-ate at the University of California at Berkeley. (t-invariant.org)

Davis was coincidentally the first recipient of the Theobold Smith Society's Waksman Honorary Lectureship in 1954. (njmicrobe.org)
Bacteriology1
He was then appointed research assistant in soilbacteriology under Dr. J. G. Lipman at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, and was allowed to continue graduate work at Rutgers, obtaining his M.Sc. (nobelprize.org)
Kiev1
Born near Kiev, in the Ukraine, Waksman traveled to the U.S. to study at Rutgers, later receiving his Ph.D. from the University of California. (invent.org)
Establish2
Royalties from patents generated enormous profits, enabling Waksman to establish and fund the Waksman Institute of Microbiology at Rutgers University and the Foundation for Microbiology, which now bears his name. (invent.org)
In 1949, the Trustees of Rutgers University voted to establish an Institute of Microbiology and made Professor Waksman its first Director. (nobelprize.org)
Antibiotic3
Selman Waksman revolutionized medicine and saved the lives of countless tuberculosis patients with streptomycin, a powerful antibiotic. (invent.org)
By examining thousands of soil samples, his lab identified a number of viable antibiotic drugs. (invent.org)
The term antibiotic was first used in 1942 by Selman Waksman and his collaborators in journal articles to describe any substance produced by a microorganism that is antagonistic to the growth of other microorganisms in high dilution. (wikipedia.org)
Rutgers1
He was Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Dept of Biochemistry & Microbiology, Rutgers University. (njmicrobe.org)
Head of the department1
He was the only student of Sergei Winogradsky and succeeded him as head of the department of General Microbiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine in Saint Petersburg. (wikipedia.org)
Institute3
Since 1912 till his death he led the department of General Microbiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine succeeding Winogradsky. (wikipedia.org)
The larger portion of the funds derived from the royalties obtained from streptomycin and neomycin have been assigned for the building and support of this Institute, which is being used for research and advanced teaching on a doctorate and post-doctorate level in microbiology. (nobelprize.org)
Department1
It is a story akin to Phoenix rising from the ashes, and the study answers an important question in evolution," said Bhattacharya, a distinguished professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. (rutgers.edu)
Russia1
In 1922, he published his second textbook "Practical Manual of Microbiology" (Практическое руководство по микробиологии) in which he spread the methodology of Winogradsky (using enrichment cultures) and the so-called "Delft school of microbiology" (founded by M. Beijerinck) in Russia. (wikipedia.org)
Award1
He was a tireless supporter of the Theobold Smith Society, as a past president of the society and an Honorary Selman Waksman Award speaker. (njmicrobe.org)
Search1
It was inter-est in actin-o-mycetes that led Waksman to sys-tem-at-i-cal-ly search for antibi-otics in the late 1930s. (t-invariant.org)
Type1
The earth was black, giv-ing rise to the very name for that type of soil, tch-er-nozem, or black earth. (t-invariant.org)
Research1
The Microbial Biology Graduate Program offers the opportunity to work with over 50 professors in 15 different departments representing all facets of microbiology and allowing for a truly interdisciplinary research and educational experience. (rutgers.edu)
Work1
In 1909, he published the textbook "Principles of Microbiology" (Основы микробиологии) which was the first original Russian textbook on microbiology and remained a standard work at Soviet universities till the 1950s. (wikipedia.org)
