Albert Kluyver

Albert Jan Kluyver (June 3 1888, Breda - May 14 1956) was a Dutch microbiologist and biochemist. He and Hendrick Jean Louis Donker published Die Einheit in der Biochemie (Unity in Biochemistry) in 1926. Its vision of biochemical unity would be strongly influential and is probably his best known work. He is associated with the Delft school of microbiology. He is considered the father of comparative microbiology, and in 1953 won the Copley medal.
