AbstractDonald (Don) A. Bryant was a leading microbial eco-physiologist in recent times. He focused on cyanobacteria by exploiting cutting-edge genetics, genomics and several aspects of molecular biology to understand their biochemistry and biophysics. In 2022, after almost five decades of outstanding university service, his generosity for education and the younger generation motivated him to donate two million US dollars to support a chair professorship in Microbial Physiology in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Eberly College of Science, University Park, Pennsylvania, USA. After briefly discussing his personal and academic life, we present brief summaries of his research contributions, selected by the authors. This is followed by messages from Susan Golden, Lou Sherman, and Annick Wilmott. The Appendix lists some URL’s on Don Bryant.
