About The Handbook Of Microbial Metabolism Of Amino Acids
Product Description This book collates and reviews recent advances in the microbial metabolism of amino acids, emphasizing diversity and the unique features of amino acid metabolism in bacteria, yeasts, fungi, protozoa and nematodes. As well as studying the individual amino acids, a number of themes are explored throughout the work. These include: comparative issues between the metabolism of microbes and those of higher organisms, including plants and mammals; potential for drug targets in pathways of both biosynthesis and degradation of amino acids; relationship between amino acids or associated enzymes and virulence in parasitic pathogens; practical implications for food microbiology and pathogen characterization; and future priorities relating to fundamental biochemistry of microrganisms, food quality and safety, human and animal health, plant pathology, drug design and ecology. About the Author J.P.F. D’Mello is a double graduate of the University of Nottingham, obtaining a BSc Honors in 1964 and a PhD in 1967, both in the Department of Applied Biochemistry. He began work at the Edinburgh School of Agriculture in 1968, lecturing to students and commencing research with grants from the Agricultural Research Council, Tropical Products Institute (ODA), BP and ICI. He has supervised a number of Honors, MSc and PhD students during his years at Edinburgh, published extensively in refereed journals, and took charge of the Environmental Protection and Management degree course for four years until retirement. Since retiring, he has edited 5 books for CABI, with A Handbook of Environmental Toxicology: Human Disorders and Ecotoxicology published in December 2019 and the authored text Introduction to Environmental Toxicology publishing in late 2020.
