The human gut microbiome is a collection of microbes that are necessary for proper function of the digestive system and that contribute to the overall health of the individual. Infants are colonized with these microbes at birth and their nutrition in the early days of life is important for supporting growth of these microbes. Milk sugars are important in development of the microbiome. Which of the following best explains how both lacto-N-tetraose and lacto-N-fucopentaose could contribute to proper development of an infant's microbiome A. Lacto-N-fucopentaose binds to surface receptors on pathogenic bacteria and prevents them from entering epithelial cells in the intestine.
B. Lacto-N-tetraose prevents pathogenic bacteria from hydrolyzing and metabolizing carbohydrates found in the intestine.
C. Lacto-N-tetraose is a food source for bacteria that aid in digestion of this and other oligosaccharides.
D. Lacto-N-fucopentaose is digested by pathogenic bacteria and, in the process, destroys these types of bacteria.
