Therefore, we hypothesized that an isomeric plasmalogen molecular species B'-A is also likely present albeit at a much lower abundance, in addition to the readily observable abundant plasmalogen molecular species A'-B (defined hereafter as "a paired rule") (Figure 1).
The molecular [M-H+Na2]+ di-sodium adduct ions at m/z 667 and 695 were also observed for these RLs but in much lower abundance.
Overall, live and bleached coral plots showed similar effects, but differed from the eroded coral plots which had a much lower abundance and diversity of fish.
When compared to the set of known miRNAs from our samples, our novel miRNAs were at much lower abundance levels.
Likewise, SRB 16S rRNA transcripts are also present in surficial sediment outside the mat, but in much lower abundance relative to the aerobic groups.
Star sequences (passenger strands) are usually degraded after Dicer processing of the hairpin and therefore are present in much lower abundance than the active miRNA (guide strand).
Due to the reliance of the majority of taxa on C3 vegetation and the relative rarity of Equus at Inglis 1A, we hypothesize that C4 grasses likely occurred in much lower abundance.
The abundance of each transcript appears to be unrelated to its position on the cistron as illustrated by the finding that in each tissue ND4 was the most abundant mitochondrial mRNA even though it is eleventh in order on the polycistron, while ND6 is present at much lower abundance but is located at position 3 [31].
Although it was not possible to differentiate the relative contribution of surface-associated versus freely secreted LukGH in this process, there is a relative high abundance of surface-associated LukGH, whereas the other two-component leukotoxins are either not present on the cell surface (LukS-PV, LukF-PV, LukD, LukE, HlgB, HlgC) or are present in much lower abundance (i.e., HlgA) (Table S1).
Other minor species (SPH16:1, SPH18 0, SPH18 1, SPH18 2 and SPH20 4) were detected at much lower abundance (<3%).
