New Jersey State Microbe Approved by Assembly

On February 25, 2019 The NJ  Assembly unanimously voted in favor of designating an  Official State Microbe, Streptomyces griseus. This brings NJ one step closer to being the second state in the US (and the world) to have a symbolic microbe.

This action sequence shows me (seated) casting the vote for Assemblywoman Annette Quijano (standing) in the Assembly Chamber. Wow, that was cool, and an honor!  ASW Quijano was the principal sponsor in the Assembly. The vote was 76 to zero.

Strep griseus produces streptomycin, the first broad spectrum antibiotic and the first significant antibiotic found in America. It was discovered in 1943 in New Brunswick, NJ

Talk about pressure “Don’t press the red button!”

#1yrago New Jersey contemplates an official state microbe

Five years after Oregon designated Saccharomyces cerevisia (AKA brewer's yeast) as its official state microbe, the New Jersey senate has unanimously passed S1729, which names Streptomyces griseus (which produces a powerful antibiotic and was discovered at Rutgers) to high state honor -- now the microbe bill goes to the state assembly and thence to the governor.

The New Jersey State Microbe moves ahead!

We have been getting a lot of positive press and electronic media following the unanimous vote of the New Jersey Senate on July 27.  It’s nice to see an article in an actual newspaper!  This ran in the Sunday Asbury Park Press on page 2 on July 29, 2018.

NJ State Microbe moving ahead again!

On June 14, the NJ Senate State Government. Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee voted Yes unanimously on S1729, which names Streptomyces griseus as the State Microbe of New Jersey. This is another big step in becoming the first state after Oregon to have an official microbe, and an excellent way of acknowledging the great science that’s been done in NJ.

Thank you Senators!

Thank you scientists for writing in!

NJ State Microbe at Rutgers Day/Ag Field Day

The Rutgers Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology had an amazingly great day on April 28th. The booth was staffed by students and faculty all day and had lines of people waiting to learn more about the State Microbe and microbiology in general. State Microbe T shirts were very popular. Thank you to everyone who participated!

We collected nearly 400 signatures on a petition to our legislators in support of A3650 and S1729, the legislation that designates Streptomyces griseus as the New Jersey State Microbe.
