Extended Data Fig. 6: Coprostanol can be sulfated by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron.
From: Characterization of interactions of dietary cholesterol with the murine and human gut microbiome
a, Ion chromatograms and b, tandem mass spectra of axenic cultures of B. thetaiotaomicron with either cholesterol or coprostanol revealing that coprostanol can also be sulfated by B. thetaiotaomicron to produce coprostanol sulfate. c, MS1 spectra of coprstanol sulfate (†) and cholesterol sulfate (‡) demonstrating the parent ion m/z difference between the two metabolites. (†) and (‡) denote coprostanol sulfate and cholesterol sulfate respectively.
