	Waksman, Selman Abraham
		Although Waksman was involved in many areas of soil microbiology, it was his interest and expertise in the life-and-death struggles between soil microbes that eventually led to a cure for tuberculosis.
		Waksman confirmed those reports and concluded that the tubercle bacillus was probably killed by other bacteria present in the soil.
		Waksman died on August 16, 1973, and is buried in a churchyard in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

		Selman Waksman and his team of students knew from their own in vitro tests that streptomycin was active against certain pathogens, especially the bacillus that caused tuberculosis.
		Waksman was able to supply the Mayo Clinic with sufficient samples because of a prior agreement he had reached with Merck & Company in late 1939 under which the giant pharmaceutical company gave Waksman's laboratory a grant for the study of antibiotics.
		The lawsuit requested Waksman to cease claiming he was the sole discoverer of streptomycin and asked for an accounting of the royalties earned from licenses granted by Waksman and the Foundation.

		The contention arises because Schatz was the graduate student in charge of performing the lab work of testing streptomycin against tuberculosis (a dangerous task) using techniques, equipment and lab space of Waksman's while under Waksman's direction.
		At a meeting of the board of Trustees of the Foundation, held in July of 1951 he urged the building of a facility for microbiology, which was named the Waksman Institute of Microbiology.
