        This book collates and reviews recent advances in the microbial metabolism of amino acids, emphasizing diversity - in terms of the range of organisms under investigation and their natural ecology - and the unique features of amino acid metabolism in bacteria, yeasts, fungi, protozoa and nematodes. As well as studying the individual amino acids, including arginine, sulfur amino acids, branched-chain amino acids and aromatic 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 - Future priorities relating to fundamental biochemistry of microrganisms, food quality and safety, human and animal health, plant pathology, drug design and ecology As the volume of research into the metabolism of amino acids grows, this comprehensive study of the subject is a vital tool for researchers in the fields of biological, medical and veterinary sciences, including microbiology, biochemistry, genetics and pathology. This book is also essential for corporate organizations with active research and development programmes, such as those in the pharmaceutical industry. ; This book collates and reviews recent advances in the microbial metabolism of amino acids, emphasizing diversity - in terms of the range of organisms under investigation and their natural ecology - and the unique features of amino acid metabolism in bacteria, yeasts, fungi, protozoa and nematodes. ; -: PrefacePART I: GLUTAMATE1: Structural and Functional Properties of Glutamate Dehydrogenases2: Glutamate Decarboxylase in Bacteria3: The Yeast GABA ShuntPART II: LYSINE, ARGININE AND HYDROXYPROLINE4: Lysine Biosynthesis in Microorganisms5: Arginine Deiminase in Microorganisms6: Arginase and Microbial Pathogenesis in the Lungs7: Arginine and Methionine as Precursors of Polyamines in Trypanosomatids8: Ornithine and Lysine Decarboxylation in Bacteria9: The Role of Nitric Oxide Signalling in Yeast Stress Response and Cell Death10: Hydroxyproline Metabolism in MicroorganismsPART III: SERINE AND THREONINE11: Cellular Responses to Serine in Yeast12: Threonine Degradation in Hyperthermophilic OrganismsPART IV: SULFUR AMINO ACIDS13: Methionine Synthesis in Microbes14: Regulation of Sulfur Amino Acid Metabolism in Fungi15: Insight on O-Acetylserine Sulfhydrylase Structure, Function and Biopharmaceutical ApplicationsPART V: BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS16: Metabolic Engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum for L-Valine Production17: Flavour Formation From Leucine by Lactic Acid BacteriaPART VI: AROMATIC AMINO ACIDS AND HISTIDINE18: Microbial Degradation of Phenolic Amino Acids19: The Biosynthesis of Tryptophan20: Tryptophan Biosynthesis in Bacteria: Drug Targets and Immunology21: The Kynurenine Pathway of Tryptophan Metabolism in Microorganisms22: Histidine Degradation in Bacteria23: Histidine Phosphatase Superfamily in Pathogenic BacteriaPART VII: D-AMINO ACIDS24: Functions and Metabolism of D-Amino Acids in Microorganisms25: Pathways of Utilization of D-Amino Acids in Higher OrganismsPART VIII: ECOLOGY26: Rhizobial Amino Acid Metabolism: Polyamine Biosynthesis and Functions27: Working Together: Amino Acid Biosynthesis in Endosymbiont-Harbouring Trypanosomatidae28: Amino Acid Metabolism in Helminths29: Microbial Degradation of Amino Acids in Anoxic Environments30: Utilization of N-Methylated Amino Acids by Bacteria31: Biofilm Formation: Amino Acid Biomarkers in Candida albicans32: Recent Advances Underpinning Innovative Strategies for the Future

        Emergence and Development of Police in the Trucial States

        by Mubarak Bashir Mubarak

        This research is concerned with issues of security and protection of the newly established institutions in the Trucial States before by the Union, from 1955 to 1971, during which period of time the sheikhs and officials began to be interested in security issues and the provision of means to preserve the first institutions within each emirate. This was only able to be done by creating a police service, which would be assigned the tasks of oversight and defense. Each emirate paid attention to this important sector and worked to implement its plans. Dubai was a pioneer in formulating the initial structure of a security institution and in qualifying police officers who would guard the emerging institutions, manage and maintain security in various parts of the Emirate, then the rest of the other emirates followed suit; therefore, such a protective structure appeared successively in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Fujairah.  The research also focuses on pursuing the development of these institutions and their various branches and structures, from their emergence to the establishment of the Union, and the number of the Union's supervisors, including foreign experts, most of whom were British, the citizens who helped them. The research does not neglect any of the affairs of security institutions, as it provides all the statistics related to employees, such as clothing, salaries, grants, equipment, and more. Although there is a scarcity of documentary sources and despite the lack of interest in this field, the research includes most of the sources, extracts their most prominent components and contents, and mentions lists of names of employees in this sector, their ranks, salaries, and their career and social status.

      • Der Schwur

        The Oath

        by Sunil Mann

        With „Der Schwur“ („The Oath“), the exceptional Swiss author Sunil Mann sets completely new standards and is not afraid to touch on uncomfortable topics and to question them critically. „Der Schwur“ takes a crude look at the present and gives a very detailed view on the often controversial subject of refugees. narrated in a ruthlessly realistic, masterfully subtle way, and, despite all seriousness, in Sunil Mann's typical enigmatic and humorous  manner. The novel alternates between the harsh reality of refugees, the unmasking mentality of right-wing populist politicians and the attempt of two lonely people to make the world a little better with their 'Agency for Unpleasant Affairs'. Sunil Mann gives a voice to a refugee girl that touches even the most conversative person. At the same time, he creates a counter-image with the figure of an ambitious young political figure, who brilliantly unmasks the double standards of right-wing populist policies on foreigners. Stylistically sophisticated suspense, excellent research, a clear political statement and social criticism without a raised forefinger –  this is the very high art of storytelling! Marisa Greco and Bashir Berisha want to get started with their own detective agency. Although the single mother and flight attendant and the Albanian doorman have no investigative experience, they are a good team – and also have no alternative plan for their lives. In fact, they soon get a case: they are supposed to steal a trolley bag for Joy, a Nigerian woman. Inside the suitcase is her ticket to freedom – the passport confiscated by her procurer. Now that Joy's fourteen-year-old sister Faith has also embarked on the arduous journey to Europe, time is running out if the girl is to be saved from a similar fate.
