Excerpts

The basidiomyceteous yeasts were not considered further in this study because of their marginal significance in winemaking.

For cancers such as biliary tract (gallbladder cancer), although fascin is not an independent prognostic indicator, it is marginally significant in correlating with poor prognosis ( Machesky and Li, 2010 ).

Furthermore, a negative trend was observed between the probability of mcyD detection and the N:P ratio, suggesting that the availability of phosphorus, rather than nitrogen, is correlated with, and potentially drives, the distribution of the mcyD containing strains (Supplementary Figure 4A ).

P -values of ≤0.05 were considered significant and ≤0.001 as highly significant.

cholerae identified here are still likely to be significant within the context of human health.

We found that voles selected for herbivorous capability harbored distinct microbial communities (although, the differences were only marginally significant), while voles selected for high aerobic capacity or predatory behavior exhibited no differences from control lines.

It may be significant that, in the study of hypercholesterolemic men, an increase in fecal propionic acid was noted.

Within the first 9 h of incubation, Synechococcus numbers showed an increasing trend in both the control and ephyrae microcosms.

In both RPMI and SCD media, white cells also grew faster at the elevated temperatures (30 and 33°C) than at 25°C, whereas opaque cells did not show a clear trend with changes in temperature.

While a decreasing trend of level was observed, the levels in the heat-shocked group were still higher than that in the non-shocked group at 3 and 6 dpi, indicating that HSP70 possesses protective function especially for early-onset infection (Figures 4A,B ).

Chloroplastic pigment equivalents showed a higher variability between stations and sediment layers (Figure 3 and Table 1 ), with higher concentration in pockmark A164 and a decreasing trend along the vertical sediment profile in all sampled stations.

epidermidis exhibited a 24-fold higher frequency of mutation to Rif R than did GC cultures, and this difference was found to be highly significant ( Figure 2B ).

Degradation of Crude Oil by Selected Consortium The crude oil degradation rate of consortium 10 revealed that there was an increasing trend in degradation for every successive week up to the 5th week (84.15%) whereas minimum (42.24%) was recorded in the 1st week of incubation ( Figure 4 ).

cholerae O139 in India showed a trend of resistance to neomycin (Mukhopadhyay et al., 1998 ).

The organization of the banding patterns in the dendrogram as a result of the UPGMA method and DICE correlation show a clear trend of grouping by type of olive fermentations (Gordal or Manzanilla).

veronii C4 (pN-PA-2) showed extremely significant differences compared with those of wild type at 5, 10, 15% glucose and sucrose (Figure 6A ).

Results: PCOS patients showed a decrease in bacteria from the phylum Actinobacteria and a borderline significant shift in bacterial community composition in unweighted UniFrac analysis.

This effect was only marginally significant, but it is tempting to speculate that this trend might have been linked to inability of translocated-oyster immune system to control the resident microbiota acquired from the new environment, resulting in more bacteria evading the oyster immune defenses and establishing in the hemolymph.

JC1 showed a trend toward inhibition of V. anguillarum with ZOIs ranging from 2.7 to 3.3 mm ( Figures 5A,E ; Supplementary Figures S2E – H ) although, a one-way ANOVA determined that the ZOIs were not statistically different ( F 3,60 = 2.553, P = 0.0639).

Second, even though research indicates that the accuracy of electrical sensing is comparable to that of DLS and TEM technologies, the combination with other non-electrical sensing techniques during measurements will be an interesting trend.

Bioavailable DOC roughly followed total DOC concentrations over the year in both systems, showing a decreasing trend from the beginning of the year, and accounting for 9–52 and 6–47% of total DOC for RF and GB, respectively ( Figures 1C,D ).

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 ).

These shifts were characterized by a decline in all treatments at 11:30 h compared to in situ data, (most apparent in the PA treatment), followed by an increasing trend in samples from the afternoon ( Figure 2 ; Supplementary Table S1 ).

In these cases, the EET might be no or only a minor mode of energy generation but will rather consume additional resources and provide the involved species a short time but possibly significant selection advantage.
