Excerpts

Furthermore, the first three functional taxa mentioned above, which are closely related to human pathogens, tend to increase gradually with resident time in soils, especially in the two blends, while the others showed a decreasing trend over time in BDMs.

Pseudonocardiales and Rhizobiales showed an increasing trend, while the proportion of Streptomycetales gradually decreased over time.

pneumoniae in 2018 and 2019 were 7.41 and 10.53%, respectively, showing an increasing trend.

The results described in this study demonstrated that dendrobine content varied a lot between different stem lengths of Dendrobium , as it showed an increasing trend first and then followed by a decreasing trend while the stem length increased.

Among the three amelioration treatments, WIM resulted in the greatest changes in soil microbial communities, with a decreasing trend in autotrophs and an increasing trend in heterotrophs in the community.

The potential impact of this work in the development of reductive bio-processing of oxidised ores, such as Penamax limonite, that contain relatively large amounts of highly toxic oxy-anions (hydrogen chromate in the current instance) that are readily extracted by mineral acid, is highly significant.

Ergonovine concentrations were associated with endophytic Epichloë , but association with Claviceps was also marginally significant.

However, the number of fungal colonies showed a trend of decline, which suggested that fungi were most influenced by heavy-haze ( Figure 1B ).

During the I wave, 6.46 ± 1.20 mutations for each viral genome were observed, with an increasing trend during the following waves with average values of 19.43 ± 5.99 and 29.08 ± 5.95, respectively.

Compared with CN group, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, and isovaleric acid concentrations presented a decreasing trend in the RE group.

From 1999 to 2008, the incidence rate of EAC showed an increasing trend in all races, except for American Indian or Alaska native, whose average annual percent change was −0.1.

The magnitudes of the adaptive improvement and the breadth increase were both correlated with genome reduction and were highly significant in two out of eight niches (i.e., glucose and sulfate).

Forest plots of causal effects using single SNP showed that none of them is extremely significant for association with psychiatric disorders/traits ( Supplementary Figures 2A , 3A ), and the leave-one-out sensitivity analysis demonstrated no single SNP driving the causal association signal ( Supplementary Figures 2B , 3B ).

Recently, the frequency of HP infection and the related diseases has demonstrated a decreasing trend in the Western countries, but it has shown an increasing trend every year with age in China, especially after the age of 10 years, which is closely related to the socioeconomic status and antibiotic resistance in China ( Malfertheiner et al., 2017 ).

Between the four groups, these virulence factors showed a trend of increasing abundance as the disease progressed.

In the functional analysis, several metabolic pathways were decreased, whereas flagellar assembly and bacterial chemotaxis showed an increasing trend as the disease progressed.

Through the KEGG pathways, we found that sugar metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and amino acid-related metabolism in OSCC patients showed a decreasing trend.

Besides, after long-term ensiling, the addition of herbal plants slightly increased or retained the relative abundance of Lactobacillus , whereas it showed a decreasing trend in control silages.

According to the results in Figure 4A , we observed a significant trend toward separation of two groups in positive ion mode and negative ion mode.

fragilis group and control group (Kruskal–Wallis, p > 0.05), but principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) based on unweighted UniFrac distance showed a trend of separation, although the difference was not significant ( Supplementary Figure 1 ; Figure 1A ).

Similarly, in the clinically recommended dose group, the copy number of the qnrS gene had an increasing trend during 5–7 days of ENR treatment.

However, despite these highly significant differences, the mouse is still being used as an animal model to study human gut microbiome ( Nguyen et al., 2015 ), whereas the bovine animal model holds several advantages over other animal models to investigate the role of the maternal microbiota (respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive microbiota) in the DOHaD ( Table 1 ).

halophilus observed in our study showed a strong trend in biofilm formation, and stronger auto-aggregation abilities of biofilm cells were associated with the higher surface adhesive forces but contradictory to lower basic surface charge and hydrophobicity than those of planktonic cells.

Compared with the POP-treated group, the Con groups showed an increasing trend in the expression of genes associated with environmental adaptation, xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism, metabolism of cofactors and vitamins, metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides, lipid metabolism, metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrate metabolism, glycan biosynthesis and metabolism, e

We repeated the above analyses for nasal samples in the RP and found no association between microbiota and all clinical features except the nearly significant association with secretor status or Lewis type ( Table 1 and Supplementary Table 5 ).
