The study of the intestinal microbiota has gained considerable attention in recent years as it has been found to contribute to intestinal and extraintestinal diseases.1 Defining the normal microbiome is a pre-requisite of investigating the effect of modifying f...

Adiabatic potential energy surfaces (PESs) for three major isotopologues of water, H2 O, H2 O, and H2 O, are constructed by fitting to observed vibration–rotation energy levels of the system using the nuclear motion program DVR3D employing an exact kinetic energy operator. Extensive tests show that the mass-dependent ab initio surfaces due to Polyansky et al. [O.L. Polyansky, A.G. Császár, S.V....
