Derivation from a carbon-based, living animal or plant is a reason why composted farm fish can be called organic matter despite antibiotic contents. The term antibiotic comes from Dr. Selman Waksman of Rutgers University in New Jersey. The Russian biochemist is credited with the discovery of the antibiotic actinomycin as one of 22 different antibiotic compounds derived from one of aerobic composting's beneficial micro-organisms, actinomycetes bacteria.
