Excerpts

In this study, soil EC showed a decreasing trend from the bud stage to anthesis and then increased at maturation.

Moving to the anthesis stage, phylum Actinobacteria had a highly significant positive correlation with EC, and a significant negative correlation with NH 4 + -N and NO 3 - -N.

p < 0.01 (**) was considered highly significant.

Compared with the NS + ABX/LPS group, the Observed features index showed an increasing trend in each treatment group of ZG, but not significantly ( p > 0.05). 3.8.3.

The two AmpC isolates had a greater number of resistance genes detected than the other isolates (mean 18.5 compared to 10.9) but this was only approaching significance (OR 1.51, p -value 0.094).

Additionally, the sampling time significantly affected soil total N, total P, pH, ammonium N, fast-acting P, and organic N ( p < 0.05), showing an increasing trend followed by the decreasing trend peaking at 30 days.

The results were shown in Figure 3 , where the recovery rate appeared an increasing trend as the temperature increased from 5°C to 35°C.

The exceptions, which were barely statistically significant, were (i) a shorter recurrence interval for isoclonal group A isolates (10 pairs: median interval, 45 days) than for isoclonal group C isolates (four pairs: median interval, 90.5 days) ( p = 0.02), and for fluoroquinolone-resistant isoclonal isolates (59 pairs: median interval, 56 days) than for fluoroquinolone-susceptible isoclonal isolates (60 pairs: median interval, 65 days) ( p = 0.04).

An increasing trend in EV prevalence in AGE patients was observed across different Asian countries before the COVID-19 outbreak, beginning at the end of 2019.

In general, the CP content in silage shows a decreasing trend as the anaerobic fermentation process advances, and the biological activity of adherent microorganisms affects the degree of degradation of CP content after the addition of exogenous additives ( He et al., 2018 ).

In this study, the combination of citric acid and malic acid showed a trend toward reducing Klebsiella abundance.

glauca was mainly determined by the soil pH, as revealed by an extremely significant positive correlation between these variables ( Table 3 ).

There were no significant differences between the N40 and N160 treatments, indicating that when the amount of nitrogen deposition exceeded a certain value, further nitrogen deposition did not significantly increase the content of soil organic matter and total nitrogen, instead it showed a decreasing trend ( Figure 1 ).

We noticed an increasing trend for the genus Catenibacterium and Odoribacter in stroke cases compared to healthy controls ( Li et al., 2019 ; Yu et al., 2023 ; Yuan et al., 2023 ).

The Shannon index exhibited a highly significant positive correlation with soil OM and a significant positive correlation with WC.

WC and TP displayed an increasing trend with altitude, reaching their highest values in the high-altitude area (13.07% and 161.84 mg/kg, respectively).

Furthermore, the phylum Actinobacteriota is more abundant in young human adults ( Figure 3K ) and shows a decreasing trend with age ( Li et al., 2021 ).

The abundance of Bifidobacterium decreases along the age trajectory from infancy, whereas Akkermansia and Lactobacillus demonstrate an increasing trend with advancing aging.

We further found that the maximum temperatures in May in Shaoguan city, Guangdong, presented an increasing trend ( Supplementary Figure S6 ).

Thus, regarding all above described MGEs, an overall trend of higher MGE carriage in clinical than in non-clinical strains was recorded, while no specific MGE was connected to clinical background. 3.6 Pairwise genome comparisons with implementation of preceding analyses The previous analyses of accessory genes, ARGs, and MGEs showed differences between clinical and non-clinical strains.

The liquefying power showed an increasing trend, with the highest after CQ5 and CQ8 (0.686 ± 0.010 U), indicating that high temperature is favorable to the liquefaction of starch.

The moisture content of CQ0, CQ1, CQ2, CQ3, CQ4, CQ5, CQ6, CQ7, and CQ8 was 41.986, 42.211, 42.987, 39.368, 33.618, 21.063, 15.933, 11.473, and 10.933%, respectively, which showed a decreasing trend ( Figure 3D ).

Comparison of coding sequences from psychrophiles revealed a decreasing trend for GC-rich and G/C-ending codons, while a preference for AGG (Ser) in thermophiles and CAA (Val) in mesophiles and psychrophiles (Khan and Patra, 2018 ).

As shown in Figure 3 , the species obtained demonstrated an increasing trend followed by a declining trend as tree age grew, which showed the highest number in the young stand group (Y2) and the lowest in the mature stand group (M1).

The abundance of abfA and manA genes related to hemicellulose degradation showed a trend that increased with forest age, peaked in near-mature forest, and then declined in the mature forest stage.
