Talk:Selman Waksman

message: I have corrected the false and scandalous claim that Waksman was responsible for the isolation of streptomycin. He merely got the credit for another scientist's work. Shorne 17:36, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: It is stated that he coined the term antibiotic, yet it was François Henri Hallopeau who did it earlier. Should the sentence be restated as in "made the word largely known"? Elikarag (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:05, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Antibiotic term

message: It would be helpful if someone described here the discovery process that Waksman organized and directed, which would be intrinsically interesting and would illuminate what credit he deserves for streptomycin specifically. I believe the underlying concept was that fierce competition between microorganisms in New Jersey bogs was thought likely to involve chemical warfare, in which case samples from those blogs would be a good place to search for substances that inhibit growth of bacteria and fungi. Does anyone here have access to materials supporting all this?Myron (talk) 03:18, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discovery Process 

message: There is no mention of antinomicyn , which- as I read in a French article- was discovered by Waksman ???Is it because this was not a successful therapeutical achievment ? Other reasons ?Trente7cinq (talk) 11:11, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Updated External Link

message: The Wikiquote entry on Waksman is a passage in which he appears to be stating that natural selection does not happen. I find this somewhat less than plausible, and feel that some individual may have unintentionally misrepresented what Dr Waksman said, perhaps by omitting necessary contextual information.
Could someone more familiar with Dr Waksman's work have a look? Thanks. DS (talk) 18:43, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
