Excerpts

At sampling points in different ecological regions, the total numbers of cotton endophytic and rhizosphere microbiome OTUs from southern to northern Xinjiang showed an increasing trend.

We could tell from Figure 7A that phenoloxidase activity showed a trend of decrease according to the prolongation of ZnO-NP treatment from 2 to 11 h.

The cell abundance of Bacillariophyta at all stations except S87 showed an increasing trend with the deepening of water layer, in which the main species were T. nitzschioides , T. frauenfeldii , and C. argus .

In this study, aside from the poor bactericidal activity observed amongst the co-producers, we were unable to identify a clear trend among the isolates with the other carbapenemase types, indicating that the knowledge of carbapenemase types alone was a poor indicator of combination activity in our isolates.

Among the selected secondary metabolites, the levels of ginsenosides, including ginsenoside-Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd., Rf, ginsenoside-Rg2, Rh1, and notoginsenoside-R1, -R2, and -R4 showed a decreasing trend, whereas the levels of ginsenoside-Rg3 and glucoginsenoside-Rf showed an increasing trend.

Specifically, following SSF-P, the levels of many fatty acids (linoleic acid, oleic acid, and stearic acid) showed an increasing trend over the fermentation period.

The p -value lower than 0.05 and 0.01 were designated as statistically significant (*) and highly significant (**), respectively.

Collectively, there was an increasing trend of salinity and nutrient concentration from Lake R1 to Lake Bosten, R2, and R3, suggesting simultaneous salinization and nutrient enrichment ( Figure 2B ).

Measures of within-sample diversity exhibited a decreasing trend from Lake R1 to Lake Bosten, R2, and R3.

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.

In all experimental groups, the NRE showed a trend of a rapid increase in the first 40 h, followed by a decreasing trend during 40–160 h, and high NRE was maintained from 160 h to 180 h.

Although the transcription levels of Reg3γ in the HFD group were not significantly different from those in the NCD group (one-way ANOVA, p > 0.05), it still showed an increasing trend ( Figure 6C ).

Although differences were not significant, an interesting trend was observed for the expression of the gene encoding serotonin transporter SERT.

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.

It was reported an increasing trend of support for genetically modified foods in the United States over two decades, particularly among younger demographics and individuals with higher scientific literacy ( Cui and Shoemaker, 2018 ).

Only four genes showed a significant loss of fitness in the TraDIS data at 90 min but not 30, and these were only marginally significant compared to most of the genes that lost fitness at both time points, showing that most of the fitness effects detected by TraDIS occur during the early stages of exposure to model honey.

Introduction Oceanic crustal fluids may be significant habitats for life on Earth, yet relatively little is known about the composition of life in these habitats, and even less is known about the functional potential of their microbial communities ( Orcutt B. et al., 2020 ).

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).

Interestingly, the OM content showed an increasing trend in the diseased groups, which was opposite to the results of other studies.

Both drugs caused a highly significant, dose-dependent reduction of biofilm viability, regardless of strain and concentration tested.

Common TCR analysis showed a trend of more common TCRα and TCRβ in CD4 + and CD8 + T cells in blood ( Supplementary Figure 4 ).

Actinobacteria composition was always higher than bacteria and fungi composition for Mix-A during the different composting times that increased during the maturation than thermophilic stages, and the microbe composition effect was highly significant ( Figure 1a ).

coli (MCRPEC) showed an increasing trend from 2009 to 2016, while a decreasing trend was observed since 2017.

These findings highlight an increasing trend of clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori in recent years in this continent.
