Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Waksman, Selman Abraham (b . July 22, 1888, Priluka, Ukrained. Aug. 16, 1973, Hyannis, Mass., U.S.), Ukrainian-born U.S. biochemist considered one of the world's foremost authorities on soil microbiology; after the discovery of penicillin, he played a major role in initiating a calculated, systematic search for antibiotics among microbes. His consequent discovery of the antibiotic streptomycin, the first specific agent effective in the treatment of tuberculosis, brought him the 1952 Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology. A naturalized U.S. citizen (1916), Waksman spent most of his career at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J., where he served as professor of soil microbiology (1930-40), professor of microbiology and chairman of the department (1940-58), and director of the Rutgers Institute of Microbiology (1949-58). During his extensive study of the actinomycetes (filamentous, bacteria-like microorganisms found in the soil), he extracted from them antibiotics (a term he coined in 1941) valuable for their killing effect not only on gram-positive bacteria, against which penicillin is effective, but also on gram-negative bacteria, of which the tubercle bacillus (
