Furthermore, we also identified a borderline significant association between MPA and an increased Firmicutes / Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio ( β = 0.027, p = 0.061). 3.5 Associations with functional pathways After filtering several pathways, a total of 116 pathways were selected to examine their association with MPA and SD _change , respectively.

To summarize, a few effects were observed—most notably, in the gut wall, for CCL20 ( p = 0.047) and to a lesser extent for IL8 (close to significance - p = 0.061) ( Figure 4D ) where a treatment effect was detected, despite pairwise comparisons failing to reach statistical significance. 4.

At T1, despite a positive trend (r = 0.2293), there was no statistical significance ( p = 0.061 ).

An observed difference for the estimates of microbial composition is that the hosts had a marginally significant explanation for the functional divergence of gut bacteria ( P = 0.062), revealing different physiological adaptabilities between the two frog species.

Hepatic Lipid Contents, and Gene Expression in the Liver and Intestine Clostridium butyricum treatment had no significant impacts ( P > 0.10) on the contents of total lipid, TC and FFAs in the liver of birds ( Table 4 ), but led to a decreasing trend ( P = 0.062) of TG content with significantly reduced ( P < 0.05) contents of FFAs in the liver.

The KEGG pathway for biosynthesis of secondary metabolites was upregulated with a high level of significance in the direct, high treatment ( Figures 5 , 7 , p < 0.001; Supplementary Figure 4 ) and was also upregulated with marginal significance in the direct, low treatment ( Supplementary Table 4 , p = 0.0626).

Although the change of high-level gentamicin resistance rate was not statistically significant, it also showed an increasing trend ( P = 0.063), which further reduced the selection of antibiotics in clinical practice.

In the same way, there was also a decrease close to significance of Penicillium relative abundance (6.04 × 10 –3 and 3.09 × 10 –2 , respectively, Mann–Whitney test, p = 0.063).

However, the interaction was only marginally significant ( p = 0.064).

For the α-diversity of the top five eukaryota phyla, two showed significantly ( P < 0.05) increasing diversity with increasing elevation (SAR_norank and Fungi_unclassified) and one ( Mucoromycota ) showed a marginally significant increase ( P = 0.064) ( Supplementary Figure 4 ).

The OLT showed a marginally significant higher preference for the new location in the SG than NG ( F (1,51) = 3.549, p = 0.065; Figure 2B ).

At SJER, bacterial richness exhibited a similar, marginally significant, trend ( p = 0.065).

Biovolumes of green algae increased significantly in the 10 mg·L −1 HP dose compared to the control [Figure 7B ; df = 2, Q (0, 10) = 6.81, p = 0.006], where the 2.5 mg·L −1 dose and the 5 mg·L −1 dose already showed substantial and nearly significant increased compared to the control biovolume [ df = 2, Q (0, 2.5) = 4.24, p = 0.067] and [ df = 2, Q (0, 5) = 4.38, p = 0.058], respectively.

At the genus level, there was an increasing trend in the relative abundances of Blautia ( P = 0.068) and Dorea ( P = 0.041) in the SA and SP groups at 65 days of age, however, unclassified_Clostridiales ( P = 0.037) and SMB53 ( P = 0.041) were decreased ( Figure 2I ) compared with the control and SS groups.

The Chao1 index either significantly reduced ( p = 0.048) or showed a strong trend to reduce ( p = 0.068) for skin and nasal microbiota after exposure in swine farm A ( Figure 2A ).

Among SCFAs, acetate showed a modest but significant positive correlation with piglet birth weight ( r = 0.20, p = 0.031), whereas isobutyrate showed a positive association with a significant trend ( r = 0.17, p = 0.068) ( Figure 5B ).

There was a weak trend for bacterial OTU richness being higher in post-1945 sites than pre-1945 sites ( F = 3.50, p = 0.068), although no relationship was seen with any of the other environmental parameters.

ATX-A content was significantly (F-test; R 2 = −0.43, p < 0.01; Figure 4B ) negatively correlated with growth rate, while ATX-A content exhibited a positive, marginally significant (F-test; R 2 = 0.26, p < 0.07; Figure 4C ) correlation with N 2 fixation rate.

This factor turned to be significant ( p < 0.05) for all system compartments except 15 N-chitin amended traps collected at final harvest, 8 weeks after assembling the large experimental pots, for which presence of AM fungus was only marginally significant ( p = 0.07).

Although the number of paired annotation samples ( N = 22) is small, OCT4 also showed a trend of predictive value in adjacent normal tissues ( p = 0.07) relative to tumor tissues ( p = 0.31) in survival analysis ( Supplementary Figure 6 ).

It is found that the abundance of Bacteroidetes varied most significantly ( p < 0.05), the abundance of Proteobacteria showed a trend of variation ( p < 0.07) between the control group and excessive DR group, and the abundance of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria did not differ significantly among groups ( p > 0.05).

When analyzed by RDA, pesticide effects were significant in soils 1 and 2 (genus level: pseudo- F = 4.2, p = 0.002 for soil 1; pseudo- F = 1.3, p = 0.008 for soil 2; species level: pseudo- F = 3.7, p = 0.002 for soil 1; pseudo- F = 1.1, p = 0.004 for soil 2), while soil 3 showed a marginally significant effect at the species level (pseudo- F = 1.0, p = 0.07).

Compared with the control group, the antioxidant enzyme activity in the tissues from gilts in the HMSeBA group was increased, and the concentration of malondialdehyde in the colon had a decreasing trend ( p = 0.07).

We found positive associations that were significant between vancomycin ARGs and vancomycin usage (IRR 10.25, CI 2.32–49.10, p <0.001) and showed a trend toward significance between carbapenem ARG abundance and carbapenem antimicrobial usage (IRR 1.91, CI 1.01–3.72, p =0.07).

The best result achieved for correlations between MC and the theoretical composition was a tendency toward significance (Spearman = 0.67, P = 0.07) when 20 PCR cycles were used in combination with the V4 primers.
