Culture indigenous

Historically, fur has been prepared and used as garments and other protection from cold and moisture. In each culture, indigenous animals were hunted and killed for their fur, so the list of animals used in this way is a long one. Table 6.5 is by no means a complete catalog of these species, but presents the common and representative groups. Some of these animals have been domesticated specifically for their fur, while others have been driven to the point of extinction by fur hunters. 

Replace expatriates with indigenous people in (Western) companies located in other, particularly Third World, coimtries mentoring can help to manage cultural issues. 

For many exogenous organisms, many of these issues will already have been established, so that only complementation will be required for indigenous organisms determination of their presence, number, and metabolic activity by conventional laboratory procedures. It may be valuable to set up enrichment cultures using site material to provide suitable material for laboratory and microcosm studies. 

A bioslurry phase system consists of the suspension of a solid phase in water or other liquid medium to a concentration typically between 5% and 40% (w/v) and kept under agitation conditions to allow the microbial growth of the indigenous microbiota or a particular inoculated microorganism [114], Bioslurry systems for bioremediation purposes have been mostly conducted with bacterial cultures [146, 147], although in the last few years WRF were also successfully applied to soil bioremediation of PAHs, hexachlorocyclohexane and pentachlorophenol [110, 113, 114],... 

In conclusion, with respect to cultural diversity and sustainability of the agroecosystems, indigenous soil knowledge can be used as a complement to scientific knowledge. Both are fundamental to establishing strategies and practices to maintain sustainable agriculture, as well as for cultural survival and a healthy ecosystem. In addition, better biodiversity usually occurs on or adjacent to traditional ecosystems as compared to nontraditional ecosystems, and it will only be protected if the... 

Biological. 1,1-Dichloroethane showed significant degradation with gradual adaptation in a static-culture flask-screening test (settled domestic wastewater inoculum) conducted at 25 °C. At concentrations of 5 and 10 mg/L, percent losses after 4 wk of incubation were 91 and 83, respectively. At a substrate concentration of 5 mg/L, 19% was lost due to volatilization after 10 d (Tabak et ah, 1981). Under anoxic conditions, indigenous microbes in uncontaminated sediments produced vinyl chloride (Barrio-Lage et al, 1986). 

A pure culture of Arthrobacter sp. was capable of degrading isofenphos at different soil concentrations (10, 50, and 100 ppm) in less than 6 h. In previously treated soils, isofenphos could be mineralized to carbon dioxide by indigenous microorganisms (Racke and Coats, 1987). Hydrolyzes in soil to salicylic acid (Somasundaram et al., 1991). 

Pintail Systems, Inc. s, spent-ore bioremediation technology includes two main treatment processes. The first process involves the biological treatment of cyanide wastes using indigenous bacteria, which are isolated from contaminated sites and cultured in large quantities for full-scale applications. The second process involves metal biomineralization in which biological processes are adapted to immobilize soluble and leachable metals.
