Ernest Frederick Gale: 15 July 1914 - 7 March 2005.
Scientists will remember Ernest Gale for his role in emphasizing, at an early stage in his career, the chemical and enzymatic basis of microbial activities at a time when many cellular components and biochemicals were ill defined, and secondly for his leadership of a team of colleagues who investigated the molecular basis of antibiotic action and in so doing elucidated many basic aspects of bacterial metabolism.
