In addition, a single target detection algorithm with a −70 dB threshold was used to detect individual scattering organisms in the water column [33].
Scattering layer density was summarized using Sv a logarithmic relative density of acoustic scattering organisms (dB) and converted into NASC a linear measure of acoustic density (m2·nmi−2) for arithmetic operations and analyses.
Because ocean currents scatter the organisms, it is difficult to tell how many actually fall to the ocean floor and how many get eaten by other creatures.
An identical genetic sequence might exist in various organisms scattered throughout the world, especially in the case of marine microbes, Friedman notes.
As Martin and his colleagues report in today's issue of Nature Microbiology, these genes aren't randomly scattered throughout modern organisms, but fall into distinct groups that reflect LUCA's likely metabolism.
Although vestigial or convergent heptad repeats are found in a few organisms scattered across the eukaryotic evolutionary tree, strong stabilizing selection on CTD structure appears to be restricted to those eukaryotic lineages found in the "CTD-clade" (Fig. 2).
To our knowledge, this is the only option in a case where organisms are scattered, uncultivable, and very small.
EFL-encoding organisms are scattered widely across the tree of eukaryotes, and all have close relatives that encode EF-1α.
Information on volatiles emission from microorganisms, plants, and other organisms is scattered in the literature until now, but there is no public and up-to-date database that accumulated comprehensive information of volatiles and their biological activities.
But when we removed the OMP.16 or the OMP.22 class, which have a high prevalence in β-proteobacteria and α-proteobacteria, respectively, this changed the clustering behavior of the respective taxonomic classes significantly; the organisms got scattered away from their position in the cluster compared to the situation in Figure 1A.
Thus, information associated with a single organism is scattered across different resources.
