Our study clearly shows that earthworms can be significant transport agents of microplastics in soils, incorporating this material into soil, likely via casts, burrows (affecting soil hydraulics), egestion and adherence to the earthworm exterior.
The paucity of insertion sequence elements and bacteriophage-related genes in H. mustelae (Table 1) suggests that these mechanisms are not significant agents of diversity generation in this species, a process which is driven in H. pylori by free recombination [ 57].
It is not unusual for an individual to be a significant agent of change - be that in science or other fields of life.
Calcium pterins have been shown to be significant immunotherapeutic agents in models of breast cancer, hepatitis B, and tuberculosis (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin mycobacteria).
Abiotrophia and Granulicatella species, previously referred to as nutritionally variant streptococci (NVS), are significant causative agents of endocarditis and bacteraemia.
Note that the CoV of Class-1 agents is close to zero for almost all agents, while the CoV of Class-2 agents is significant for most of them.
Cushman's ability to serve as the agent of its new building could be significant.
The commercial impact of molds is also measured on a negative scale since some of these organisms are significant as pathogens of crop plants, agents of food spoilage, and sources of toxic and carcinogenic compounds.
For retention memory, animal species, quality score, and type of anesthetic agent were significant sources of heterogeneity (P < 0.05).
Plants have played an important role as a source of effective anticancer agents, and it is significant that 60% of currently used anticancer agents are derived from natural sources including plants, marine organisms, and microorganisms [ 16].
