With Jaccard dissimilarity, the only significant variable or interaction was the interaction among biotype, host plant species, and host cultivar, although the interaction of biotype and host plant species was almost significant ( p = 0.052) ( Table 7 ).

In addition, we found that the pure effect of vertical distance ([Dist|Env+BF]) is marginally significant ( adjusted R 2 = 8.9%, P = 0.052) ( Table 1 ), whereas the pure effect of stratification ([BF|Env+Dist]) is not significant ( adjusted R 2 = 25%, P = 0.15) ( Table 1 ).

There was an indication of a stimulation of activity in the mutant by adding excess Cu, but this just failed to reach statistical significance ( P = 0.0524).

Moreover, a PERMANOVA adjusted for differences in dispersion confirmed that the observed effect of sample processing strategy was marginally non-significant ( p -value = 0.0527, F = 5.50, R 2 = 0.38; Supplementary Table S7 ). 3.4 Litophyton and sediment samples maintain dominant bacterial taxa in aquarium settings The Gammaproteobacteria class typically dominated the prokaryotic communities of Litophyton specimens both in the aquarium (average relative abundance of 51%) and the Red Sea (31%), although the Red Sea presented higher variability between samples ( Figure 3A ).

In ileal tissues from AT-xynA-fed broilers, the content of IL-1β showed a trend to decrease on day 7 ( p = 0.053).

However, compost type exhibited a marginally significant effect on nosZ clade II ( p = 0.054), with the relative abundance in SA being higher in BM than in M treatment ( p < 0.05). 4 Discussion Compared to M, BM has been found to reduce CO 2 and N 2 O emissions; yet the degree in reduction is soil-texture dependent ( Gao et al., 2023 ; Yuan et al., 2017 ).

In male mice, each of the PK1, CFK, and HK groups had lower total cholesterol levels than the HFD control group ( Figure 2A ), while in female mice the PK1 and CFK groups had lower levels of total cholesterol and HK mice showed a trend for a reduction ( p = 0.054; Figure 2D ).

We observed a near-significant reduction in dissemination rate ( p = 0.0547) and a significant reduction in transmission rate ( p < 0.0001) for line AE1 with CHIKV.

The effect of rice genotype on pmoA copy number was marginally significant ( p = 0.055).

The results revealed that the total reads of GH families, which were responsible for hemicellulose degradation, were significantly higher in wild and half-blood yaks than in domestic yaks (Welch t -test, p < 0.05) ( Figure 4A ), and the total reads of GH families, which were responsible for cellulose degradation, were almost significant between wild and half-blood yak (Welch t -test, p = 0.055) ( Figure 4B ).

There was no significant change in acetate, but the ratio of acetate to propionate (A/P) showed a decreasing trend due to the increase in propionate ( p = 0.055).

Heterogeneity among tumor sites was nearly statistically significant only for the effect of Cagδ ( p = 0.055).

Mean soil heterotrophic respiration was lower in logging gaps relative to intact forest, although this difference was marginally non-significant ( p = 0.055) possibly due to the limited number of samples used in laboratory incubation and high heterogeneity found across all plots ( Table 2 and Supplementary Figure 3G ).

The Seagrass and Mangrove sites showed fewer Cyanobacteria than the Phytoplankton site (ANOVA, marginally significant differences p = 0.055, n = 12) and different Proteobacterial groups, mainly in the Alphaproteobacteria class.

However, almost significant differences in LL-37 release were observed in TLR2-inhibited osteoblasts compared to non-treated cells ( p = 0.055; Figure 8C ).

There was a marginally significant ( p = 0.056) main effect of treatment evident in the germ on day 5 ( Figure 5D ).

Additionally, 16% CP content in the diet displayed an increasing trend ( p = 0.089) of Firmicutes abundance, while 14 and 16% CP contents in diets showed a decreasing trend ( p = 0.056) of Actinobacteria abundance in the jejunum compared with the 20% CP ( Figure 3B ).

coli carriage with the wet season (OR = 2.9, 95% CI 1.3–5.6, p = 0.009), warmth (OR = 1.2 per°C, 95% CI 1.0–1.4, p = 0.018) and rainfall (OR = 1.2 per 100 mm, 95% CI 1.0–1.3, p = 0.056 borderline significant), was confirmed ( Table 2 ).

Likewise, we found a significant reduction in the fasting blood glucose level [from 5.8 (5.5–6.4) to 5.6 mmol/L (5.3–6.2), p = 0.02], a numeric, but non-significant, decrease in the fasting insulin levels [from 102 (62–124) to 83 (57–107), p = 0.25], and a borderline significant decrease in homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) [from 3.7 (2.3–4.6) to 2.8 (2.2–3.8), p = 0.056].

The stratified analysis, performed to determine the possible interaction of agr functionality on these results revealed a significant trend toward higher biofilm formation in MRSA than MSSA in agr functional strains ( p = 0.056), but not in agr dysfunctional strains ( p = 0.800) indicating that agr functionality is a confounding factor for these results.

Nevertheless, the difference between CC8 and CC5 was almost significant ( p = 0.056; Figure 2G ).

p = 0.0043), whereas the difference in wrinkle volume was marginally significant ( adj . p = 0.056).

The inertia was borderline significant when comparing 18S with counts after a Monte Carlo test with 999 replications ( p = 0.056), whereas the effect was not significant when comparing the rbcL and count data ( p = 0.23).

However, during weeks 5–8, there were marginally significant increase in sperm motility in T3 and T4 boars ( P = 0.057; Table 5 ).

For priA a 41% decrease in switching, on the threshold of significance ( p = 0.057), was observed and for bbg32 a smaller (28%), but not significant decrease occurred.
