Extended Data Fig. 3: Ex vivo culture medium selection.
From: Characterization of interactions of dietary cholesterol with the murine and human gut microbiome
a, The top 30 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) of the microbial composition of the original mice faecal samples and that of 2-day ex vivo cultures using different media for the corresponding faecal pellets. Different colored circles represent the relative abundance of the individual ASV that are represented above 1% in the original mice faeces. b, Ion chromatograms of cultures containing murine stool treated with either cholesterol alkyne, cholesterol, vehicle, or no treatment, demonstrating the formation of cholesterol alkyne sulfate. c, Ion chromatograms of cultures containing murine stool treated with either cholesterol (chol), vehicle, or no treatment, demonstrating the formation of cholesterol sulfate.
