    The 2011 Benjamin Franklin medal in Earth and Environmental Science presented to Jillian F. Banfield
    (Elsevier, 2013) Carl O. Moses
    The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, awards the 2011 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Earth and Environmental Science to Professor Jillian F. Banfield for her pioneering work in the fields of geochemistry and environmental microbiology, in particular her discoveries of the underlying principles of mineral formation and alteration by microbes and her efforts to advance the understanding of the form, composition, and distribution of minerals in the presence of living organisms.

    2022 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Earth and Environmental Science presented to Sallie W. Chisholm, Ph.D.
    (Elsevier, 2022) Helen K. White
    Sallie W. Chisholm was instrumental in discovering the marine phytoplankton Prochlorococcus, the most abundant photosynthesizing organism on Earth. Chisholm and her collaborators’ discovery ini- tiated a major breakthrough for understanding the photosynthetic processes in the world oceans and their relevance to Earth’s climate. Chisholm has made key contributions to some of the most insightful and influentia scientifi studies published in the past 40 years, and her research has revolutionized our views of the importance of tiny cells known as Prochlorococcus . Chisholm’s study of Prochlorococcus as a model organism and her pioneering use of genetic tools have provided critical insights into ge- netic diversity, adaptation, and the role that viruses play in evolution. Chisholm and her collaborators’ discoveries of the vital role that Prochlorococcus plays in the ocean carbon cycle have fundamentally changed how we understand the functioning of ocean microbial community structure, the ocean carbon cycle, and marine ecosystems, with important policy implications for climate change.

    Achieving sustainable aquaculture: Historical and current perspectives and future needs and challenges
    (Wiley, 2020) Claude E. Boyd; Louis R. D'Abramo; Brent D. Glencross; David C. Huyben; Lorenzo M. Juarez; George S. Lockwood; Aaron A. McNevin; Albert G. J. Tacon; Fabrice Teletchea; Joseph R. Tomasso Jr; Craig S. Tucker; Wagner C. Valenti
    Important operational changes that have gradually been assimilated and new approaches that are developing as part of the movement toward sustainable intensive aquaculture production systems are presented via historical, current, and future perspectives. Improved environmental and economic sustainability based on increased efficiency of production continues to be realized. As a result, aquaculture continues to reduce its carbon footprint through reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Reduced use of freshwater and land resources per unit of production, improved feed management practices as well as increased knowledge of nutrient requirements, effective feed ingredients and additives, domestication of species, and new farming practices are now being applied or evaluated. Successful expansion into culture of marine species, both off and on shore, offers the potential of substantial increases in sustainable intensive aquaculture production combined with integrative efforts to increase efficiency will principally contribute to satisfying the increasing global demand for protein and food security needs.

    Actinomycetes as a promising candidate bacterial group for the health management of aquaculture systems: A review
    (John wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd., 2022-11) Kadayil Sachith Sunish; Krishnan Sreedharan; Shahmahal Kuniyil Shadha Nazreen
    Aquaculture is one of the most important economic activities in the world. However, the intensification of culture practices resulted in the emergence of various diseases caused by microorganisms and non-infectious diseases caused mainly by the deterioration of water quality. Several prophylactic and treatment options have been exploited over the years to tackle the disease problem in aquaculture. Previously, antibiotics have been used indiscriminately for treating many fish diseases which resulted in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. To overcome the failure of existing management strategies, innovative antimicrobial drug research is crucial and actinomycetes have proven to be trustworthy sources of new antimicrobial chemicals and are one of the most economically and biotechnologically important bacteria with multitude of functions. This review updates and highlights the role of actinomycetes in encouraging sustainable aquaculture practices and identifies opportunities for additional research and development. Many genera of actinomycetes were found to enhance the growth and survival of cultured species by producing many nutritional factors. They also improve the water quality of culture systems by the production of hydrolytic enzymes. Actinomycetes were found to improve the immunity of aquatic organisms by augmenting many immune parameters and making them more resistant to infection. Many actinomycetes have been discovered to produce antagonistic substances and exhibited antibacterial, antiviral, antibiofilm and anti-quorum sensing activities. Probiotic potential of many actinomycetes has been widely explored. Even though actinomycetes have been widely used in aquaculture for multi purposes, the exact mechanism of action of these bacterial groups is poorly understood and novel biotechnological tools can be used for unravelling this.
