There is a clear trend for oral subsites to be less different in terms of the number of rare OTUs when we increase the occupancy threshold.

P < 0.05 was considered to be significant ( ∗ ), P < 0.01 was considered as highly significant ( ∗∗ ).

Across crop sequence treatments, the relative abundance of potential egg-parasitic fungi showed a decreasing trend from C1, C2, Ca to S1 in spring of both years (Figure 9 ).

The data also showed a trend of increasing SCN egg density with increasing years of soybean monoculture in midseason of 2015 and fall of both 2015 and 2016, but a significant correlation between increasing SCN egg density and increasing soybean year was only observed in fall of 2015 (Y ~ 86.6 + 350.95 * Soy Year, R 2 = 0.24, P = 0.02).

The DEGs number and corrected P -values results indicated that DEGs in the pathways of ABC transporters (ko02010) and glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism (ko00260) play extremely significant roles under salt stress.

In addition, there was a clear trend that the relative abundance of all these ammonia monooxygenase subunits ( Figure 6A ) increased with depth.

Sino-nasal outcome test−22 (SNOT-22) Patients in the CON group showed no change in SNOT-22 scores post- treatment while CS group showed a trend toward an improvement in SNOT-22 scores, but it was not statistically significant (CON −0.6364 [95% CI −6.673 to 5.4] vs.

However, soil pH demonstrated a positive trend with the relative abundance of Crenarchaeota and Planctomycetes and a negative relationship with Firmicutes in this study, which has not been discerned previously ( Table 5 ).

Interestingly, N -acetyl- L -alanine had a decreasing trend in both overnight- and inoculation-induced pLac32EBI + pBadMEV as well as in wild type, and by hour 2, concentrations in inoculation-induced pLac32EBI + pBadMEV were significantly lower than in overnight-induced and wild type (Supplementary Figure 5C ).

The Shannon diversity index which considers evenness in addition to richness suggested a decreasing trend for lignin-adapted consortia but an increasing trend for xylan-adapted consortia over time.

The earliest report of the ACME element in Asia was in Japan, 2007 ( Shibuya et al., 2008 ), and an increasing trend was observed afterward ( Onishi et al., 2013 ; Urushibara et al., 2016 ; Aung et al., 2017 ).

Overall, among the treatments no significant difference in total rhizobacterial population was detected ( P = 0.503), but was highly significant in CFU g −1 of the samples collected at different days ( P = < 0.0001) and media ( P = < 0.0001) (Figure 2 ).

In this study, a decreasing trend when incubated for at least 3 days and firstly increasing for 6 days and then gradually decreasing trend when applied on barbeque sausage.

Short stalk N6 forms a large proportion of total N6 and shows an increasing trend, and the strains combined with Major/H5 and short stalk N6 have become predominant.

For most body sites, the number of clusters made exclusively from ORFs of a given body site compared to the total number of clusters containing at least one ORF from this site showed a trend of at least 70%.

This analysis verified the lack of highly significant pesticide-induced differences in the composition of the soil bacterial community.

The relationship between the level of sIgA to the ages of these children were analyzed, and a negative trend was noted in Figure 3B .

The results indicated that the utilization of six types of carbon sources by microbes presented an increasing trend with the prolongation of incubation time.

A clear trend, albeit not a strict rule, emerges from this correlation which admittedly may be biased by limitations in the currently available set of 3D structures.

rhamnosus GR-1 or milk was well tolerated and showed a trend to lowering uptake of heavy metals, but it was not statistically significant ( Bisanz et al., 2014 ).

An increasing trend of binding capacity was observed from the AFB1 concentration of 2–6 μg/mL for all Lcs cell components.

For example, North Pond energy is primarily from the FeS 2 /O 2 couple ( Figure 4 ), indicating that solid mineral substrates may be significant in this environment.

There are indications of possibly significant water-rock interactions between the liquid body and a hypothesized solid rock core ( Glein et al., 2015 ; Hsu et al., 2015 ).

There is a clear trend that average temperature will surpass this threshold during extended summer periods by 2,100 ( Neumann et al., 2012 ).

Jonckheere’s trend test was used to investigate whether each marker had an increasing trend from the control group to the rapid progressor group.
