This type does not include any subtypes. For example, this type includes paper pulp sludge and water treatment filter cake sludge.Inoculate:To implant microorganisms onto or into a culture medium.Inorganic matter:Refers to nonliving source such as rocks, minerals or sand, of nonbiological origin.Integrated pest management (IPM):Integrated pest management (IPM) is an ecosystembased strategy that focuses on longterm prevention of pests or their damage through a bination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines, and treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target organism.Invertebrate:An organism lacking a spinal column.Laminarinase:Apolysaccharidethat is found in various brown algae and yields only glucose on hydrolysis.Leachate:A water that has percolated through a solid waste, such as a landfill.Leftovers:In terms of food scraps or food waste, may refer to food prepared in excess that has not been served but may be collected for a human food donation or recovery program.Leftoverscan also refer to plate scrapings that are not appropriate for human consumption.Lerp Psyllid:A plantmoisture suckinghomopteransin the insect family Psyllidae. Redgum lerp psyllid nymphs (immature) form a cover called a lerp, which is a small white, hemispherical cap posed of solidified honeydew and wax.

Considered a potent greenhouse gas.Microbial spore suspensions:Microscopically visible particles dispersed throughout a less dense liquid from which they are easily filtered but not easily settled because of system viscosity or molecular interactions.Microorganisms:Microscopic living organisms that digest organic material through metabolic activity.Mold:A superficial (often woolly) fungus that grows especially on damp or decaying organic matter or on living organisms.Monosaccharides:A sugar that is not deposable to simpler sugars byhydrolysis. The simplest form of sugar.Morphology:The form and structure of an organism or any of its partsMulch:A layer of organic material that is spread over the bare surface of soil to block the loss of moisture and to discourage the growth of weeds. Typically applied around plants to minimize moisture evaporation. Mulch is the term for nonposted materials, such as shredded or chipped bark.Municipal organicmaterials:Organic materials generated by residential, business, institutional, and agricultural sources, which are then collected and sent to city and county waste facilities.Municipal solid waste(MSW):Garbage. Refuse with the potential for energy recovery。 includes residential, mercial, and institutional the material part of the municipal solid waste stream and is mixed with or contains nonorganic, processed industrial materials, or plastics. Compostable material that contains mixed demolition or mixed construction debris shall be considered mixed solid waste.Mycelium:The body of afungus, posed of many threads of tissue.
