Solution
The statement that is NOT TRUE is: B. In the experiment, the HMOs blocked the growth of the “good” bacteria.
This statement is not true because Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) are known to promote the growth of good bacteria. They do not block the growth of good bacteria. Instead, they serve as a food source for beneficial bacteria in the gut, helping to establish a healthy microbiome.

The effect of an antibiotic on the expression of β-galactosidase was studied in E. coli. Bacteria were cultured in the presence of an established lac inducer, with or without the antibiotic. After lysis, the samples were incubated with a chromogenic β-galactosidase substrate. Finally, the amount of the coloured product formed was detected by photometry. The table below shows the O.D. values of different samples. Which antibiotic was used?
