Excerpts

subtilis , the intracellular catalase activity was decreased when cells were in anaerobic environment, while under aerobic conditions, an increasing trend will be noted with the removal of thiosulfate from the medium, or addition of manganese.

The deletion of iscR showed a trend to attenuate the bacterial virulence; however, the difference did not reach statistical significance.

mutans , showed an interesting trend: the observed “bell curve” could indicate possible inhibition after an initial growth, which suggests that secondary metabolites may act as antimicrobials.

In winter samples, sediments of B layer at mangrove forest (MG) had the lowest pH values, and the redox potential and water content values generally showed a decreasing trend along the increase of sediment depth.

As cells switched from log to stationary phase, there was a clear trend in the upregulation of signal proteins and the downregulation of cytoplasmic proteins.

Concerning physicochemical data, pH ranged from 3.59 (CA-H) to 4.04 (FG-C) at the 41st day of packaging, with a slight trend to increase as the packaging time progressed.

The analysis shown in Figure 1C demonstrated a highly significant negative correlation between the antibody levels against either prefusion or postfusion F in the acute phase and the fold change in antibody titre one month later.

Consequently, the main general advantage of AD method, which is its large sensitivity, becomes a weakness in this application, as small differences with respect to the null distribution (that may also arise from its approximate nature), are (conveniently) not captured by KS, but are classified as statistically highly significant by AD test, leading to low AD specificity (a large number of false positives).

The most likely reason is that the randomized regions do not capture (possibly significant) negative selection that acts on σ 70 binding sites.

Time series of both indicator organisms followed a clear trend, with rapid increases and slightly slower decreases after peaking (Figure 1B ).

Real-time PCR showed that only three OsCIPKs were up-regulated, and two of them exhibited highly significant differences compared to the mock rice, suggesting that OsCIPK29 and OsCIPK30 might be involved in the host response to RSV infection ( Figure 4 ).

By contrast, a decreasing trend in pH was observed as vegetation restoration progressed, in accordance with previous studies ( Robertson and Vitousek, 1981 ; Schipper et al., 2001 ; Dmowska and Ilieva-Makulec, 2006 ; Holtkamp et al., 2008 ; Zhao et al., 2014 ).

(2013) showed fairly significant levels of contamination of broilers with S .

The Δ phoU1ΔphoU2 pstS(Fs) mutant also showed a trend toward decreased tolerance to EMB, though it was not statistically significant ( Figure 7C ).

In general, most parameters showed an increasing trend toward the north with highest concentrations in the Pacific subarctic region and the Bering Sea.

Furthermore, the chi-square score was equal to 265.42 (degrees of freedom = 20), which was highly significant (well below alpha 0.01), suggesting geographic location might be a factor in phylogroup distribution.

In darkness env1 transcript levels show a negative trend in QM6a compared to QM9414.

As mentioned before, TrL show a positive trend with the height of the phytoplankton absorption peak at 360 nm.

CSP tended to be enriched in the SML in the open and coastal stations, while it showed a decreasing trend in the SML of the upwelling stations (data not shown).

CB-75 on banana chlorophyll content As shown in Figure 6 , with increasing transplanting period, the chlorophyll content of CK1 continued to rise, the chlorophyll content of CK2 showed a decreasing trend, but the chlorophyll content of the plants in the CK3, A, and AB treatment groups first decreased and then increased.

The chlorophyll content of CK3 and A showed an increasing trend, 0.81 mg/g and 0.68 mg/g, respectively, but the final value was always lower than that of CK1 treatment.

Interestingly, these findings demonstrate an observed trend between the correlation detection technique and in vitro multispecies biofilm assessments, where coexistence of bacterial members within these ecological systems could contribute to multispecies biofilm formation.

An increasing trend was observed for Cu quotas in treatments with higher Fe availability, albeit changes were not significant for most.

The alignment of introns Cne.mL2439/Cga.mL2439 and Cne.mL2584/Cga.mL2584 to the RF00028 group I intron RFAM model was highly significant for both introns (Supporting Information, Table S2 ).

= 0.1%) indicating that the grouping was highly significant.
