  André Lwoff - Biography
André Michel Lwoff was born on 8 May 1902 in Ainay-le-Château (Allier).
Then in 1936, again with the aid of a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, Lwoff and his wife spent seven months in Cambridge in the laboratory of David Keilin; factor V, which is required by Haemophilus influenzae, was identified with cozymase and its physiological role for the bacterium was defined.
Dr. Lwoff was appointed Head of the Department at the Institut Pasteur in 1938, and Professor of Microbiology at the Science Faculty in Paris in 1959.

  André Michel Lwoff Biography / Biography of André Michel Lwoff World of Genetics Biography
Lwoff's primary contributions have come from his study of the biology of viruses, including the genetics of bacteria and the mechanisms of viral infection and replication.
Lwoff was born in Ainay-le-Château, in central France to Russian immigrant parents.
Lwoff exhibited remarkable dexterity and skill in the extremely difficult procedure of growing individual bacteria in a microdrop and then fishing out the newly divided bacteria with a capillary pipette--only a few microns in diameter--without contaminating the specimen.

Since 1921, Lwoff had been interested in the nutrition of protozoa, and after having published 23 papers on this subject, he summed up his work and the results of other workers in 1932 in a Monograph of the Institut Pasteur (at the same time his thesis for Sc.
In 1938, Lwoff published a paper in French in the German "Archiv fr Protistenkunde" (the precursor of "Protist"): "Remarques sur la physiologie compare des Protistes eucaryotes" (Lwoff 1938) in which he wrote again: We divide with E. Chatton (1926) the Protists into Procaryotes and Eucaryotes...
An important finding of Lwoff, enunciated already in 1932 and confirmed by Knight in 1936, was that a regressive physiological evolution can lead, especially among p\arasites, to the gradual irreversible diminution or disappearance of certain biosynthetic abilities, and consequently, to new accessory essential nutritional requirements (growth factors, vitamins).

 [No title]
Andre Lwoff 1902-1994 Andre Lwoff, born near Vichy, France, on 8 May 1902, and passing away in Paris on 30 September 1994, will probably go down in history primarily as a sharer of the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his pioneering work on the genetic code.
His pioneering works on the physiology/biochemistry of the flagellate Crithidia lay the groundwork for our understanding of the indispensable role of "growth factors" in the metabolism of organisms ranging from bacteria and protists to humans.
During the (overlapping) period 1927-1950, Lwoff also published an impressive and still ever-useful series of taxonomic papers and monographs with his Ma!tre Chatton, a brilliant French protistologist primarily interested in protozoan parasites of marine invertebrates.
