Each painter had his own technique the binding medium was thus prepared using different additives, giving rise to a variety of recipes for each technique. For example, it is believed that fig latex (a white liquid exuded by the fig tree) was commonly added to the egg tempera, and that animal or plant resins were added to oil- and wax-based binders. On account of their adhesive properties, these materials were used not only as paint binders, but also as consolidants in restorations, as ingredients in varnishes used to finish paintings, and as ingredients of mordants to apply metallic leaf decorations. 

Molecular fossils have been successfully identified in younger Precambrian rocks and linked to certain classes of biological source material. In organic analyses of ancient sediments the cleaned, pulverized rocks are treated with organic solvents to extract a soluble fraction containing the less complex and more easily identifiable compounds. However, this fraction is more subject to contamination since it is not locked within the rock matrix. Normal alkanes have been identified in extracts of the 3 billion year old Fig Tree Shale. These alkanes have a probable biological origin in cellular lipids. The odd and even-numbered alkanes are evenly distributed, a characteristic of alkanes from ancient rocks. It is uncertain, however, whether these compounds were present at the time of deposition or derived from a later source [24].

L.-J. Proust detected manganese in the ash of the pine, the fig tree, the calendula, and other plants (144). In 1849 Prince Salm-Horstmar found it in the ash of the oat plant (45). According to A. T. Shohl, plants store manganese in their leaves and seeds, and use it as an essential element in their nutrition (146). 

Kerogens isolated from the Fig Tree cherts produced very complex mixtures of pyrolysis products, dominated by a series of methyl branched alkenes with each member of the series having 3 carbon atoms more than the previous member. At each carbon number a highly complex mixture of branched alkanes and alkenes plus various substituted aromatic compounds was found. The highly branched structures may have actually incorporated isoprenoids originally present in the Precambrian microorganisms (Philp Van DeMent, 1983)6>. 

In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, "shall ye call every man his neighbor under the vine and fig tree." THAT DAY is verily at hand, though it SEEMS to be very far off, when we contemplate the millions that are engaged in slaughtering each other. But these are the "terra damnata," the refuse at the bottom of the still, utterly without the spirit of love and truth, the spirit of constructive altruism, and must first be "cast into outer darkness, where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth."...

Peroxidases are enzymes catalysing the oxidation of a variety of organic and inorganic compounds by hydrogen peroxide or related compounds. An extensive list of the sources of peroxidase in plants and animals has been given (Saunders et al., 1964). All of the peroxidases purified so far from plants contain the prosthetic group hemin or ferriprotoporphyrin IX, 3 (Dunford and Stillman, 1976 Hewson and Hager, 1979). Horseradish roots and the sap of fig trees are the richest source of plant peroxidases.

Ficin The purified proteolytic substance derived from the latex of Ficus sp. (Fam. Moraceae), which include a variety of tropical fig trees. Produced as a white to off white powder completely soluble in water. (Liquid fig latex concentrates are light to dark brown.) Major active principle ficin. Typical applications used in the chillproofing of beer, in the tenderizing of meat, and in the conditioning of dough in baking.

Although ficin has been commercially available for many years, it has not attained the importance of papain and bromelain. Ficin is imported mainly from South America where it is obtained from the latex of tropical fig trees of the genus Ficus. There are over 2000 species of this genus, and the amount of activity varies considerably from one species to another (10). Most of the commercial preparations of ficin are derived from F. glabrata. The latex is collected from the trees by tapping, and the juice separated after the latex has coagulated. The juice is then spray-dried, or the protein may be precipitated with acetone. 

After review of the manuscript of this chapter, a paper by Knauth and Lowe (2003) has been published in which structure, texture, and oxygen isotope composition of cherts of the Swaziland Supergroup (including the Fig Tree and Onverwacht Formations) are discussed. The maximum recorded 5 0 value of - -22%c reported in this paper is not significantly different from the value reported in this chapter for these formations, but it does reinforce the interpretation that this is a value that has been preserved from sedimentation or very early diagenesis.

Byerly et al. (1986) described probable stromatolites in the Fig Tree Group, preserved in grey-black finely laminated chert. The structures are made primarily of microcrystalline chert, forming low-relief laterally linked domes and in places pseudo-columnar structures. Byerly et al. did not find evidence of microfossils but inferred an organic origin from the morphology of the stmctures. However, Lowe (1994) disputed this evidence and concluded that the structures were not demonstrably of biotic origin. 

Environmentally conscious to a fault, Earth s dining room is a study in modern design. Scrap wood from a recently demolished building was used for their hardwood floors, and recycled medals used to make tiny tables. Halogen lighting, potted fig trees and bowls of goldfish complete the scene.
