The human gut microbiome is a collection of microbes that are necessary for proper function of the digestive system and that con

tribute 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?

Answer: Gut microbiome degrade the ingested milk sugars through a biochemical pathway, producing ATP required for the energy needs of infant.

Explanation:

The human breast milk fed on by infants  contains a high concentration of indigestible oligosaccharides which include lacto-N-tetraose and lacto-N-fucopentaose.

These milk sugars are utilized by microbes in the gut of infants, yielding lactate as the final product of metabolism and releasing several molecules of ATP as useful energy for use by the infant.

Thus, the presence of these gut microbes at birth, and the feeding of infant with breast milk is vital to fulfilling their energy needs

After incubation, you observe that your streak-plate has heavy, uniform growth but no isolated colonies. Which of the following
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option 3 and 4 are most likely correct

Explanation:

<em>Option 3</em>: We know that area 1 would contain heavy streaking and not single colonies. Therefore, if the loop crosses area 3 and enters area 1, it will definitely result in heavy streaking again.

<em>Option 4</em>: We always need to sterilize properly the loop when streaking in different areas. If we don't do it, it is possible that the loop contains a lot of bacteria that would be streaked again.

Options 1 and 2 are incorrect because, according to question, there is a uniform growth but no isolated colonies. So, contamination or mixed culture would not produce uniform growth streaking rather mixed with other bacterial types.
