    Let Γ\Gamma be a Cayley graph, or a Cayley sum graph, or a twisted Cayley graph, or a twisted Cayley sum graph, or a vertex-transitive graph. Denote the degree of Γ\Gamma by dd, its edge Cheeger constant by hΓ\mathfrak{h}_\Gamma, and its vertex Cheeger constant by hΓh_\Gamma. Assume that Γ\Gamma is undirected, non-bipartite. We prove that the edge bipartiteness constant of Γ\Gamma is Ω(hΓ/d)\Omega({\mathfrak{h}_\Gamma}/{d}), the vertex bipartiteness constant of Γ\Gamma is Ω(hΓ)\Omega(h_\Gamma), and the smallest eigenvalue of the normalized adjacency operator of Γ\Gamma is −1+Ω(hΓ2/d2)-1 + \Omega({h_\Gamma^2}/{d^2}). This answers in the affirmative a question of Moorman, Ralli and Tetali on the lower spectral gap of Cayley sum graphs
