Albert Schatz (scientist)
Albert Israel Schatz (2 February 1920 – 17 January 2005) was an American microbiologist and science educator, best known as a codiscoverer of the antibiotic, streptomycin. Schatz graduated from Rutgers University in 1942 with a bachelor's degree in soil microbiology, and received his doctorate from Rutgers in 1945.
In 1943, as a 23-year-old postgraduate research assistant working in the university's soil microbiology laboratory under the direction of Selman Waksman, Schatz volunteered to search for soil-born microorganisms that would kill or inhibit the growth of penicillin-resistant bacteria including tubercle bacillus, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). In three and a half months he had isolated two strains of bacterium that stopped the growth of tubercle bacillus and several other penicillin-resistant bacteria in a petri dish.
== Personal life ==
Schatz was born in Norwich, Connecticut, and raised on a poor, isolated Passaic, New Jersey farm by his Jewish Russian émigré father and English mother. His initial interest in soil microbiology stemmed from his intention to become a farmer. Seeing workers being assaulted by the authorities during the Depression prompted him to lifelong socialism and humanitarianism. He and Vivian Rosenfeld, a student at New Jersey College for Women, were married in March 1945 and they had two daughters, Linda and Diane.〔 The couple were enthusiastic naturalists and environmentalists and they enjoyed the wilds of Vermont. Schatz was interested in the paranormal and alternative medicine (therapeutic touch). He campaigned against the fluoridation of drinking water,〔 argued for a "proteolysis-chelation theory" of tooth decay〔 and proposed a novel theory for the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs.〔
