Fig. 3. Significant species as identified from DESEq2 analysis and organised in oral microbiome complexes.

a Red complex; b orange complex; c purple complex; d yellow complex; e green complex. Others significant oral species are reported in Supplementary Fig. 10. Samples (n = 71) are represented by dots and are coloured in accordance with species. Boxplots are defined as follow: minimum, maximum and centre values represent the 25, 75 and 50% quantile, respectively; median is represented by 50% quantile; upper and lower whiskers are the maximum/minimum values of data which are within the 1.5 interquartile range over 75th or under 25th percentile, respectively. Source data are provided as Source data file.
