Context-dependent functionality of 2'-fucosyllactose with Bifidobacterium breve M-16 V and short-chain galacto-/long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides in infant gut fermentation.
Human milk oligosaccharides, particularly 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL), are important functional components involved in infant gut microbiota development and immune-related functions. However, the efficacy of 2'-FL may be limited when applied alone, especially in microbiotas with insufficient 2'-FL-utilizing bacteria. Thi...
