Figure 1. — The majority of microbiome research literature does not report the complete details of water source. Of the 76 primary research articles surveyed for the current commentary, 62% of the articles did not state any information regarding the water source provided to their in vivo animals (47 articles.) While 24% stated some aspect of their water source, but not enough to be repeated by another researcher (18 articles.) Only 14% of the articles listed what the current authors would consider adequate detail with regards to the water source being provided to experimental animals (11 articles.).
