A method for increasing the levels of omega-3 fatty acids (“omega-3s”), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic/icosapentaenoic acid (EPA), in beef products by feeding cattle a diet containing grass as the primary ingredient supplemented with whole algae high in omega-3s. A method of increasing the levels of omega-3s in beef comprising feeding beef animals a daily food ration comprising grass and whole algae.

A method for producing a Euglena lysate includes growing a biomass from genus Euglena organisms, dewatering the grown biomass, lysing the biomass, and drying the lysed biomass to form a Euglena lysate.

A composition includes a Euglena lysate and cellular components and residual media remaining from a fermentation process that produced a Euglena biomass and the Euglena lysate. The cellular components may include one or more beta-glucan polymer chains having a molecular weight of 1.2 to 580 kilodaltons (kDa).

Methods for production of highly unsaturated fatty acids by marine microorganisms, including the heterotrophic marine dinoflagellate Crypthecodinium, using low levels of chloride ion are disclosed. Specifically, methods of increasing production of highly unsaturated fatty acids by marine microorganisms while growing in low chloride media by manipulating sodium ion and potassium ion levels. The invention also relates to methods of production of highly unsaturated fatty acids by marine organisms at low pH levels, and includes methods for generation of low pH tolerant strains.

The invention concerns a composition made from at least one sulphated polysaccharide, in particular from an algae, and combined with at least one food ingredient. This composition can be used, in particular, in the field of food or in the treatment or prevention of an infection caused by microsporidia in humans or animals. It has useful properties as an antiparasitic agent in humans or animals; for the treatment or prevention of an infection caused by at least one microsporidia in humans or animals; in particular for the treatment or prevention of an infection caused in bees by the microsporidia Nosema, preferably Nosema ceranae or Nosema apis, or indeed for stimulating the immune defences of bees.

Transgenic microalgae expressing at least one exogenous biologically active protein. The protein-expressing microalgae are used for the oral delivery of the biologically active protein to the target organism in its intact and functional form. The exogenous protein, expressed in algae, is characterized by being biologically active, exerting at least one specific activity having a beneficial effect on the subject consuming the algae. The transgenic microalgae are used as animal food for aquatic or land animals welfare or as food supplement for human healthcare.

Devices, systems, and methods for combinatorial treatment of a condition with an implantable damping device and biologic therapeutic agent are disclosed herein. Methods for treating one or more effects of the condition, such as a neurological condition, include providing the implantable damping device and at least one other therapy, such as a biologic therapeutic agent, that treats the condition to the patient. The implantable damping device includes a flexible damping member and an abating substance and can be placed in apposition with a blood vessel. The flexible damping member forms a generally tubular structure having an inner and an outer surface, the inner surface formed of a sidewall having a partially deformable portion. The abating substance is disposed within the partially deformable portion and moves longitudinally and/or radially within the partially deformable portion in response to pulsatile blood flow.
