# Anthony Edward Walsby

Anthony Edward Walsby, BSc(Birm), PhD(Lond), FRS, és professor emèrit de microbiologia a la School of Biological Sciences, Universitat de Bristol.
És un investigador en els camps de les algues, i cianobacteris, ecologia dels llacs, les seves vesícules i vaquols de gas i la seva genètica els quals cobreixen els llacs europeus i també la mar Bàltica. Va descobrir Haloquadratum walsbyi en un llac submarí de la Península del Sinaí el 1980. Va ser escollit membre de la Royal Society l'11 de març de 1993.
