John Raymond Postgate (24 June 1922 – 22 October 2014), FRS[2][1] was an English microbiologist and writer, latterly Professor Emeritus of Microbiology at the University of Sussex.[7][8] Postgate's research in microbiology investigated nitrogen fixation, microbial survival, and sulphate-reducing bacteria. He worked for the Agricultural Research Council's Unit of Nitrogen Fixation from 1963 until he retired, by then its director, in 1987. In 2011, he was described as a "father figure of British microbiology".[9][10]

His admired[11] popularizing book on microbes in human culture, Microbes and Man, first published in 1969, remains in print.
