Figure 5

Depicts the colored representation of the correlation between bacterial groups (reads of pyrosequencing of numbers estimated by qPCR) and expression (signal intensity) of the differentially expressed genes in the Oxidative Stress pathway (panel a) and in the NF-κB pathway and IL-1β pathways (panel b). Red represents significant inverse correlation and blue cells’ significant direct correlation. Genes with white cells gave no significant correlation with the corresponding bacterial taxon and genes not shown had no significant correlation with any bacterial taxa.
