Extended Data Fig. 5: Bacteroides genus converts cholesterol to cholesterol sulfate.
From: Characterization of interactions of dietary cholesterol with the murine and human gut microbiome
Ion chromatograms of cholesterol alkyne sulfate in cultures incubated with cholesterol (Chol) or cholesterol alkyne (CholAlk) in order to determine cholesterol-interacting taxa that are able to convert cholesterol to cholesterol sulfate. Bacteroides species were displayed on the left to emphasize their ability to convert cholesterol to cholesterol sulfate, with other bacterial strains that failed to do the conversion arranged on the right.
