← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when koalas consume eucalyptus with antibiotics?
A)Increased detoxification gene expression rates
B)Altered hindgut fermentation processes✓
C)Enhanced cellulose digestion efficiency gain
D)Rapid population microbiome diversification
💡 Explanation
When koalas consume eucalyptus alongside antibiotics medication, the destruction of beneficial gut flora triggers dysbiosis, altering hindgut fermentation processes, because the microbial community undergoes a shift and thus cannot catabolize effectively; therefore fermentation is inhibited, rather than plants with regular balanced microbiomes.
