Excerpts

We found a clear trend, especially for propionic and valeric acids ( Figure 3 ; p -values by one-tailed Student’s t -test; Supplementary Table 4 ).

mutans , showed an interesting trend: the observed “bell curve” could indicate possible inhibition after an initial growth, which suggests that secondary metabolites may act as antimicrobials.

Although the same trend was evident for females as well, the statistical analysis did not detect it (marginally non-significant).

In winter samples, sediments of B layer at mangrove forest (MG) had the lowest pH values, and the redox potential and water content values generally showed a decreasing trend along the increase of sediment depth.

We estimated the cytosolic concentration of CHMO, but the propagated error from the estimated volume did not allow the identification of a significant trend (see Figure 2C ); the mean value was still used for calculations.

For all models a clear trend was the difference in soil type, with the sand-based soil having either higher weights, greater emergence, or lower disease indices; while lowest weights and less emergence, as well as higher disease indices were for loam soil and low temperature.

In Figure 5A we compare the cell carbon ( M ) to specific respiration rate ( r ); in turbidostat cultures r decreases with carbon-rich cells and shows a clear trend with temperature indicated by symbol color.

The possible ability of Type I CRISPR-Cas to effect DNA repair would be highly significant for B. fragilis , which is very susceptible to the DNA-damaging properties of oxygen exposure.

Real-time PCR showed that only three OsCIPKs were up-regulated, and two of them exhibited highly significant differences compared to the mock rice, suggesting that OsCIPK29 and OsCIPK30 might be involved in the host response to RSV infection ( Figure 4 ).

The levels of MMP9 and MMP12 showed a trend toward increase (Figure 4A ).

(2013) showed fairly significant levels of contamination of broilers with S .

The Δ phoU1ΔphoU2 pstS(Fs) mutant also showed a trend toward decreased tolerance to EMB, though it was not statistically significant ( Figure 7C ).

In general, most parameters showed an increasing trend toward the north with highest concentrations in the Pacific subarctic region and the Bering Sea.

Furthermore, the chi-square score was equal to 265.42 (degrees of freedom = 20), which was highly significant (well below alpha 0.01), suggesting geographic location might be a factor in phylogroup distribution.

In particular, exposure to meropenem or levofloxacin resulted in a highly significant reduction in biofilm vitality, with a concentration-independent effect.

In darkness env1 transcript levels show a negative trend in QM6a compared to QM9414.

As mentioned before, TrL show a positive trend with the height of the phytoplankton absorption peak at 360 nm.

CSP tended to be enriched in the SML in the open and coastal stations, while it showed a decreasing trend in the SML of the upwelling stations (data not shown).

Our study found a significantly increased risk of IBS, functional dyspepsia, and GERD (borderline significant) after infection with B. coli .

During 1995–2010, an increasing trend for S.

The inverse association between the percentage of built area and diversity ( R 2 = 0.26, p < 0.001) and richness ( R 2 = 0.26, p < 0.001) of Bacteroidetes was relatively weak but highly significant.

(2011) observed a decreasing trend of AM root colonization in S. lycopersicum along with compost addition gradient (compost concentration of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%) in pot experiment.

A heat map using TMM-normalized TPM values showed a trend in the expression profiles of enzymes from the consortium along the incubation time ( Figure 2 and Supplementary Table S1 ).

The glycerophospholipids revealed a negative trend, while the fatty acyls showed a mixed response with a tendency to decrease.

A clear trend of the use of cofactors in relation to the presence of ethanol in the culture medium could not be found ( Figure 6B ).
