LDFT Glycan is a complex oligosaccharide naturally occurring in milk, exhibiting diverse biological activities, including prebiotic effects, anti-adhesive properties, and immune modulation. The synthesis of LDFT Glycan poses challenges due to its intricate structure, prompting researchers to explore efficient production methods. LDFT Glycan involves interactions with specific receptors on the surfaces of host cells and bacteria. Specifically, LDFT Glycan can bind to receptors on beneficial bacteria, promoting their growth and activity. Moreover, it can also bind to receptors on pathogenic bacteria, inhibiting their adhesion to host cells and suppressing their growth.
