Abstract

In this paper, the comparative genome analysis was used to re-evaluate the taxonomic relationship between Paraglaciecola chathamensis and Paraglaciecola agarilytica. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that P. chathamensis S18K6T shared the highest sequence identity with P. agarilytica NO2T (99.9%), Paraglaciecola mesophila KMM 241T (99.2%) and Paraglaciecola polaris LMG 21857T (98.5%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and whole-genome sequences showed that P. chathamensis S18K6T was most closely related to P. agarilytica NO2T. However, the average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values among them were greater than the threshold of 95-96% and 70 % for the delineation of prokaryotic genomic species, confirming that they represented the same species. Besides, phenotypic characteristics and chemotaxonomic properties between P. agarilytica KCTC 12755T and P. chathamensis JCM 13645T were almost identical, further verifying this result. Consequently, we propose that P. agarilytica (Yong et al. 2007) Shivaji and Reddy 2014 is a later heterotypic synonym of P. chathamensis (Matsuyama et al. 2006) Shivaji and Reddy 2014.

Persuasion Strategies 01:52

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Get Your Foot in the Door

The first effective strategy is the foot-in-the-door technique (Cialdini, 2001; Pliner, Hart, Kohl, & Saari, 1974): If a persuader—such as a...

Hypothesis: Accept or Fail to Reject? 01:17

The outcome of any hypothesis testing leads to rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis. This decision is taken based on the analysis of the data, an appropriate test statistic, an appropriate confidence level, the critical values, and P-values. However, when the evidence suggests that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, is it right to say, 'Accept' the null hypothesis?
There are two ways to indicate that the null hypothesis is not rejected. 'Accept' the null...

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Null and Alternative Hypotheses 01:16

The actual hypothesis testing begins by considering two hypotheses. They are termed  the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. These hypotheses contain opposing viewpoints.
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As  a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...

Moment of a Couple: Problem Solving 01:30

The moment of couple is an essential concept in physics and engineering, used to calculate the rotational force, or torque, that is created when a couple —two equal and opposite forces—acts on an object.
The moment of a couple is found by multiplying the magnitude of one of the forces by the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the two forces. This creates a twisting force, which can be used to rotate an object. The moment of a couple is used to solve problems...

Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...
