Excerpts

With plant species richness, the SOC, TP, AP, and INV in the soil showed an increasing trend in the BGS, and the N/P ratio obviously decreased, resulting in an increasing trend in the SMF.

From 2005 to 2012, the incidence of HCV in China showed an increasing trend, with a stable trend after 2012.

The geographical distribution of incidence rates in China in 2017 showed a trend of high in the northern regions and low in the southern regions.

Along with this, colocalization analyses showed a strong trend of L. monocytogenes to share location within the biofilm with all Pseudomonas assayed whilst the latter distributed throughout the surface independently of the presence of L. monocytogenes , a fact that was especially evident in those biofilms in which cell clusters were present.

In general, soil factors were correlated with AM fungal diversity on conventional farms, while they were hardly significant on organic farms.

P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant and P < 0.01 was considered extremely significant.

In general, Chao1 index exhibited a decreasing trend, with G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5 being reduced to 63.17, 29.93, 34.82, 33.45, and 50.13% that of G0.

We found that other indexes except antioxidant enzyme and liver coefficient showed a trend of recovery with the continuous influence time of the AFB 1 on liver.

The PC–DFA scores plots also displayed a clear trend for the induced samples according to the gene copy number from N0–N6, which was confirmed and illustrated in the findings of all the three separate batch cultures, highlighting the reproducibility of the whole process ( Supplementary Figure S6 ).

Using the established optimum concentration of hemin (60 μM), an increasing trend of Cyt b 5 content was detected and correlated directly with increasing gene copy numbers, as shown in Figure 5C .

The general overview of the GO results showed a trend of downregulated genes within the GO biological process in the mosquitoes’ ovaries after DENV-2 blood meal ( Figure 3 upper panel).

The Chao1 index, the observed species, and the Shannon and Simpson indices of the fungal communities showed a decreasing trend, indicating that the diversity and richness of fungi gradually decreased during fermentation.

There was also an overall trend for increasing levels of citric acid.

The incidence rate of cervical cancer at a younger age is showing an increasing trend ( Zheng et al., 2019 ).

The biofilm formation could be observed from 24 h of inoculation, which consistently showed an increasing trend up to 96 h.

The OPLS-DA score plot showed clear discrimination between the two groups (R2 = 0.56, Q2 = −1.24), which suggested that the model was predictive and reliable, and that differences in the abundance of the metabolites between healthy and diarrhea rabbits were highly significant ( Figure 6B ).

An increasing trend of paratyphoid fever A has been reported over the past two decades ( Sahastrabuddhe et al., 2013 ), specifically in Asia areas, including Nepal ( Zellweger et al., 2017 ), Cambodia ( Kuijpers et al., 2017 ), and China ( Arndt et al., 2014 ).

The fact that antibiotics have been usually applied for prophylactic, therapeutic, and metaphylactic purposes favors the loss of susceptibility among the target organisms, and hence an increasing trend of antibiotic resistance among Vibrio species is likely as suggested by the data present in this review.

Interestingly, the CH 4 yield in the system showed an increasing trend during both light and dark periods, and in some dark periods, the CH 4 yield was greater than or equal to that of the light period.

The study of actinobacterial communities in these island soils may be significant for improving our understanding of Actinobacteria in these habitats, which are special and untapped among all those on Earth.

p < 0.05 was considered significant, and p < 0.01 was considered extremely significant.

While the changes in fungal abundance were small, fungal diversity also showed a decreasing trend.

However, while the percent inhibition for ScyM showed an increasing trend at lower concentrations (1 μM, 5 μM and 25 μM), once the concentration was increased to 75 μM or above, inhibition was unexpectedly decreased to approximately 25% and stayed unchanged despite increasing concentrations ( Figure 4A ).

DOC concentration varied between stations (24.6–41.9 mg C L −1 ) and did not show a clear trend across the transect ( Table 1 ).

The concentrations of nitrate and TN exhibited a decreasing trend from KRE to NCA.
