The acidified drinking water-induced changes in the behavior and gut microbiota of wild-type mice depend on the acidification mode

Abstract Acidification of drinking water to a pH between 2.5 and 3.0 is widely used to prevent the spread of bacterial diseases in animal colonies. Besides hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is also used to acidify drinking water. Here we examined the effects of H2SO4-acidified drinking...
