- Tatum, Edward Laurie: ...when he and Beadle decided to give up their work on Drosophila
and to work instead with the fungus Neurospora crassa, it was Tatum who discovered that biotin was necessary for the
successful cultivation of this fungus on simple inorganic media and thus provided these two workers with the genetic material that
they needed for the work which gained them, together with Joshua Lederberg, the Nobel Prize.
