Distribution of the reads in the root canals (RCs) and periodontal pockets (PPs) accord-ing to phenotypic characteristics of the taxa present at the both sites, such as Gram-positives, Gram-negatives, rods, cocci, aerobes, facultatives and anaerobes. Data visualization was done through Circos software. The thickness of the bars, as the outer ring represents the percentage of readings in each study condition.3.2. Analysis of alpha and beta diversity in the RCs (represented in blue) and PPs (represented in purple) microbiomes.
