Excerpts

Salinity was only a nominally significant predictor of LVA while temperature was not significant.

Linear regression analysis confirmed the existence of a negative trend in each pulsotype (Table 1 ).

Next, two-way ANOVA of fold changes (model: fold change = medium conditions + replicates + system error) in the three biological replicates and filtering of regulated proteins on the basis of a P -value < 0.00001 allowed us to identify 325 proteins with highly significant fold change abundances in the induced exoproteome compared to those from the original CD medium (Supplementary Figure S1 ; Supplementary Table S2 ).

The number of genes gained from HGT as well as gene duplication events might be significant enough to account for the increase of microbial DNA content and novel functions, and play a key role in evolution ( Mira et al., 2001 ; Navarre et al., 2006 ).

Similarly, an increasing trend in the Chao1 estimates of species richness was observed postpartum, which began to plateau at around 20,000 sequences per sample (Figure 1 ).

There is a clear trend overall of more detections on each edge as k increases, but with some exceptions: at k = 20 we find three edges not seen at k = 30, from group D to B2 (257 transfers), from B2 to S (443) and from B2 to E (3574), while transfers from D to B1 decrease from 4659 at k = 20 to 3200 at k = 30.

As revealed by ANOVA analysis, genotype had highly significant effect on DGR-myg and DGR-sd (data not shown).

These differences included a highly significant decrease in the triglyceride TAG 54:6 (number of carbons in the lipid acyl chain: number of double bonds in the lipid acyl chain; Figure 6B ).

This study indicates that freshwater lakes may be significant reservoirs of Ice+ P. syringae .

Primer pair 341f/785r detected a significant lower taxon richness in the TNT-contaminated bulk soil samples (565 ± 12) compared to the non-contaminated bulk soil (622 ± 5) and rhizosphere samples (641 ± 14), while the other primer pairs detected only a decreasing trend (Supplementary Table 3 ).

Incidence of the storage “time,” “treatment” type and antibiotic (“AB”) type factors The contribution of the storage “time” and “treatment” type factors on the recorded effects was highly significant under all conditions; whereas the storage “time” prevailed, it also displayed great heterogeneity.

Conclusion We can partially reject our initial hypothesis since this study demonstrated that fermentation parameters are generally not affected by the type of forage preparation with the exception of butyrate and a small trend in methane production.

For the prokaryotic dataset, the distances to the most mature sample exhibited a decreasing trend over time (Figure 3D ).

Furthermore, the interaction effect among Jatropha oil cake, Karanja oil cake, and Dextrose was highly significant in enhancing the DPA production by P. variotii .

The results from the Yarqon estuary may be significant to other estuarine environments that show co-existence of methanogenesis and sulfate reduction.

NMDS also showed a trend of the community compositions from fresh soil via incubated, desiccated to reincubated soil ( Figure 4B ).

ambofaciens experiences a decreasing trend in the number of flux-carrying reactions ( Figure 4 ) reflecting with both the reduced growth rate and lower spiramycin productivity observed in vivo in last phases of the growth.

CC30 and CC45 showed greater adhesion to collagen and CC8 showed a trend towards higher rate of intracellular persistence in endothelial cells.

MBGA group was only detected in TY profiles with an increasing trend from 3 to 56% along the depths ( Figure 3B ), while MCG group occupied much lower abundance (1–8.9%) in surface soils than in sub-soils (10.7–41.7%) in all three soil types.

Similar as was the case with the number of heterocysts, the number of akinetes also showed an interesting trend, which differed between the three salinities.

The recent discovery of viral miRNAs encoded in the GaHV2 genome raises the possibility that these tiny non-coding RNAs may be significant for viral pathogenesis, particularly in relation to the virus-induced tumorigenesis ( Luo et al., 2010 ; Yao and Nair, 2014 ).

The evolution of the spatially-averaged R 0 standardized anomalies for Latin America and the Caribbean exhibits a clear trend between 1950 and 2015 (black curve in Figure 3D ), as reported by (Caminade et al., 2017 ), that is consistent with the persistent increase in temperatures observed in the region.

All the functional gene abundances showed an increasing trend throughout the ED treatment, while decreasing to the control level after the water addition in 2014 ( Figures 2A,D,G,J ).

Therefore, the result in Figure 2B may be significant, since the Tm-shift was observed only when the CA-polymerization could occur.
