Walter Edward Cladek Moore (October 12, 1927 – 25 September 1996) was an American microbiologist who was instrumental in founding The Anaerobe Lab at Virginia Tech.[1] The Anaerobe Lab was built in 1970 and was a world leader in developing techniques to grow anaerobic bacteria in culture. With other faculty members he co-wrote the Anaerobe Manual.[citation needed]

He married colleague Lillian "Peg" Haldeman in 1985. They were married until his death. She died in 2020 and was survived by three stepsons (Howard Moore, Jed Moore, and David Moore).[2]
