NDF and ADF showed an increasing trend with aerobic exposure in each group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05).

Penicillium showed a highly significant positive correlation with pH, NDF, NH 3 -N, and BA, indicating that higher abundances of Penicillium were associated with poorer silage quality, Penicillium was the dominant genus during silage and aerobic exposure, and is associated with mycotoxins and quality deterioration ( Del Palacio et al., 2016 ).

The OTUs in the LB group showed an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend, while the other groups showed a continuous decrease.

bovis genome have significantly higher values of either SNP density or selective sweep sites, a probabilistic hypothesis test was used to find highly significant genomic regions.

lactis , showed a decreasing trend in its levels after prolonged administration ( Ma et al., 2020a ).

The inter- and intra-group beta distances are shown in a box plot ( Figure 7 ), with the results showing highly significant differences in bacterial communities between the HJ and WJ ( R = 1.000, P = 0.003 < 0.01), and HA and WA groups ( R = 0.989, P = 0.003 < 0.01) ( Figures 7A,B ).

It can be seen from Table 4 that the CK silage Chao1 and ACE indicators showed a decreasing trend during days 1–30 of ensiling, while WT silage Chao1 and ACE indicators presented an increasing trend.

However, HC1 and HC2 were not significantly different between the HSs groups, and with the increase in longitudinal soil depth, the enzyme activity showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.

The moisture content (WC) of the HCs and HSs groups showed an increasing trend with the increase in soil longitudinal depth, and both reached the maximum value in the deep soil.

Discussion Soil Cr(VI) adsorption was time- and rate-dependent The soil Cr(VI) adsorption followed a decreasing trend as 40 DAI > 30 DAI > 20 DAI in WW ( Table 3 ).

The test results were presented as the mean and standard error of the mean (SEM), with P < 0.05, indicating a significant difference, and P < 0.01, indicating a highly significant difference.

Although there were no significant differences between the control, 10% GLU, and 10% FRU groups, the 10% FRU group showed a trend of poor bone development, while the 10% GLU group showed a favorable trend of bone development.

Through the Shannon species diversity index ( Figure 3D ), the diversity of fructose groups showed a decreasing trend as compared with the CON and 10% GLU groups.

In our results, a decreasing trend of these two groups of bacteria was observed with the growth of algae (Bacillariophyta and Chlorophyta) and cyanobacteria during the succession in both seasons, and similar response was observed for Firmicutes and Planctomycetes in summer.

pneumoniae S-2007 showed a trend of growth followed by decline and finally growth again, which is an arms race phenomenon between phage and host bacteria (Hampton et al., 2020 ).

In 90 days, it was noted that the alpha diversity indices showed an extremely significant difference compared with those of 60 days, showing that the community richness and diversity in cecum of Landes geese were decreased extremely significantly during the overfeeding stage.

By contrast, 16 DEMs in class 4 showed a decreasing trend, such as cholesterol lipids (16:0).

The content of candidate metabolites in classes 1, 2, and 5 presented an increasing trend at 5°C.

As the concentration of CRM and ISB increased, the number of viable bacteria of MSSA JAR biofilm show a decreasing trend ( Figure 3A ) at identical GEN concentration.

The expression levels of p65, IκBα, and Cox-2 in colon tissue also showed a decreasing trend in the ZS40-H, ZS40-L, BLA, and SD groups, as compared with the CRC group.

The p -values of the three response models all were less than 0.0001, indicating the model terms were highly significant.

Further analysis of the maturity-related differences showed that as the seeds grew more mature (green to red), the Shannon index of the endophytic bacterial community in the seeds showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, while the ACE and Chao1 indices in the seeds showed a gradual decreasing trend.

However, Gordonia, Yonghaparkia, Aquisphaera, and Methylovirgula revealed a decreasing trend.

butyricum showed a trend of increasing the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes.

coli between 2009 and 2016, after which a decreasing trend was observed.
