Eugene Rosenberg

Eugene Rosenberg (October 16, 1935) is a microbiologist at the Faculty of Life Sciences at Tel Aviv University, an expert in the field of applied environmental microbiology, in particular his work on Myxobacteria, microorganisms to combat pollution (bioremediation), and the Hologenome theory of evolution - described in his book. a comprehensive reference encyclopedia on Bacteria and Archea.

Academic

Rosenberg's early work in Israel focused on myxobacteriology, hydrocarbon microbiology, surface-active polymers from Acinetobacter, and bioremediation. In collaboration with his department colleagues Eliora Z. Ron and David Gutnik, he introduced the pioneering use of microorganisms and bioemulsifiers to treat oil pollution in oil tankers, pipelines and on beaches In 1992 he was awarded with the Pan Lab Prize of the Society of Industrial Microbiology In 2002 he was awarded the Sakov Prize for ecological research and in 2003, and together with Yossi Loya, the Landau Prize by Mifaal Hapais in Life Sciences. In 2018 (with Ilana Zilber-Rosenberg), he received the Karl August Möbius Prize for lifetime achievements in symbiosis. Rosenberg, E. (2021). “Microbiomes”. Springer, Heidelberg. Rosenberg, E.
