Ion chromatograms of CholAlk-Sulf in a B. thetaiotaomicron strain that produces CholAlk-Sulf (WT: BtΔtdk(CholAlk) cell pellet, black), mice exposed to a B. thetaiotaomicron strain null in sulfotransferase activity (KO: BtΔtdkΔ0416, grey; n = 4), and mice exposed to WT sulfotransferase competent B. thetaiotaomicron (WT: BtΔtdk, pink; n = 5).
