• Compared with commonly used soybean oligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides and isomaltose oligosaccharides, it has unique advantages and can selectively promote the proliferation activity of intestinal bifidobacteria. (lynabio.com)
  • The presence of these enzymes is determined by genetics, and the result is a structurally complex matrix of linear and branched oligosaccharide molecules. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Instead, HMOs act as a bioactive and prebiotic enriching HMO-utilizing bacteria and cause systematic changes in the host. (nature.com)
  • In addition to the major macronutrients found in milk, colostrum contains a wide variety of bioactive molecules, including immunoglobulins, peptides, nucleotides and oligosaccharides (OS). (biomedcentral.com)
  • The presence of microbiota in human and other metazoan guts has been critical for understanding the co-evolution between metazoans and bacteria. (wikipedia.org)
  • The presence, absence and varying levels of activity of these sugar-linking enzymes can explain the massive differences in OS composition that can be observed both between species and within individuals of the same species. (biomedcentral.com)
  • PGC-LC MS/MS analysis indicated the presence of mainly hexose containing oligosaccharides such as raffinose, stachyose and verbascose belonging to raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs). (bvsalud.org)
  • Furthermore, the structures of some OS are similar to sugar motifs of the gut lumen and can function as diversion targets for the adhesion of pathogens, resulting in increased protection of the host [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
