• [1.11] 
  - The latter established a genetic and biochemical basis in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron for the bioactivation of broccoli-derived glucosinolates into chemopreventative isothiocyanates
• [1.9] 
  - Inositol, a carbocyclic sugar abundant in eukaryotes, forms the basis for diverse phosphorylated secondary messenger inositol phosphates and inositol lipids.
  - Inositol lipids are ubiquitous in eukaryotes and have finely tuned roles in cellular signalling and membrane homoeostasis.
  - In Bacteria, however, inositol lipid production is relatively rare.
  - Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (BT) was reported to produce inositol lipids and sphingolipids (and Bacteroides ovatus).
