This unpredictability is corroborated by our results as rRNA gene copy number-specific respiration in non-spiked samples showed a negative trend with increasing DOC concentrations, while under P addition a significant increase in rRNA gene copy number-specific respiration could be observed.
While sulfate-reducing bacteria may be significant Hg-methylators ( Compeau and Bartha, 1985 ; Kerin et al., 2006 ; Gilmour et al., 2018 ), it is unclear what role confirmation bias has had in their association with Hg cycling.
∗ P < 0.05 and ∗∗ P < 0.01 were applied to be statistically significant and statistically highly significant, respectively.
R 2 values were only partially significant and remained below 0.06 for all factor combinations, indicating that the three most relevant factors had primarily an independent impact on microbial community composition.
As shown in Figures 5A,B , although the F v / F m ratio in all treatment groups showed a decreasing trend along with the increasing exposure concentrations, the F v / F m ratios of SR-induced cells (N – + NaCl, SHX + NaCl, N – + H 2 O 2 , and SHX + H 2 O 2 ) were higher than those of non-SR-induced cells (NaCl and H 2 O 2 ) at every corresponding concentration.
A clear trend of an increase in A16S proportion along the distance gradient was only observed for the P2 stand.
A decreasing trend in the proportion of Thaumarchaeota (on average from 70 to 14%) across the distance gradient was detected in the spruce forests.
An exception was recorded in the expression levels of the FUB3 gene which showed a trend toward no change in TFTR (Z score-0).
Furthermore, the two-way ANOVA model applied to investigate interactions between Trichoderma treatment and tomato domestication were all highly significant ( Supplementary Table 1 ).
Statistical analysis software (Microsoft Excel 2016) was used to analyze the statistical significance of the experimental data, and p < 0.05 indicated a significant difference and p < 0.01 indicated a highly significant difference.
The differences between NTM species can be quite significant, and likely impacts where they have a niche and thus where they are most likely to present a public health threat.
Similarly, in all treatments SOD activity in leaf and root tissues of both sugarcane varieties showed an increasing trend till 60 DAI and then declined ( Figures 5A,B ).
Significant differences between plant organs were actually detected in our orchids, with a clear trend of decreasing diversity and richness along the vertical axis, that became significant when the two extremes (capsules and roots) were compared.
anthracis hfq genes had no statistically significant effects on sRNA stability, although there was a slight trend toward extension of sRNA half-life in some mutants.
0.05 > P > 0.01 was significant and marked with ∗ ; P < 0.01 was extremely significant and marked with ∗∗ .
As shown in Figure 5C , the SDH activity of the control group varied across a narrow range, while the SDH activity in this group treated with linalool showed an increasing trend in 0–1 h, and then decreased to minimum value of 13.3136 and 7.3933 U/mg prot, respectively.
The expression levels of each gene in cluster 17 showed a trend toward significant upregulation, with FPKM ranging from 10 to 3000 on average.
An important aspect to bear in mind is those target proteins identified as essential may be significant for bacterial survival only under laboratory conditions and not in the infection process ( Zuniga et al., 2015 ).
Here, there was a decreasing trend of bacterial richness going from the normal tissue to peritumoral and tumoral tissues, which indicated that as the microenvironment of a tumor is altered, it becomes unsuitable for colonization with specific bacterial.
In contrast, four microbial genera exhibited an increasing trend toward the end of the fermentation processes (92–140 h), namely Acetobacter , Komagataeibacter , Gluconacetobacter , and Zymomonas .
Clinical studies showed that patients with meningococcemia or hemorrhage due to trauma who received Neuprex ® had no toxic side effects and showed a trend toward improved outcomes, i.e., reduced bone marrow aplasia and deaths ( Demetriades et al., 1999 ; Guinan et al., 2011 ).
Early-stage litter did not decompose differently when deployed at the two sites, though we did see a marginally significant effect of origin with early-stage litter from the Rain Site moved to the NRM Site, showing greater mass loss than similarly aged litter from the NRM Site ( Figure 5E ).
A highly significant phytoplankton group for global marine biogeochemistry, Cyanophyceae, especially Prochlorococcus , was recorded in high abundance from most of the surface and DCM waters ( Figure 9 ).
AMF diversity indices showed a trend of cubic function on species and OTU level with the increase of altitudes.
Studies have shown that it is usually observed that as the altitude increases, the diversity of AMF presents a decreasing trend in temperate climate ( Liu et al., 2015 ; Vieira et al., 2019 ).
