Abstract: The present invention provides non-propagating transgenic microalgae expressing at least one heterologous RNAi molecule. The RNAi-expressing non-propagating transgenic microalgae are used for oral delivery of the RNAi molecule to a target organism in its intact and functional form. The heterologous RNAi molecule, present within the microalgae, is characterized by being biologically active, exerting at least one specific effect on the organism consuming the microalgae or on a pathogen of said organism. In particular, the non-propagating transgenic microalgae are used as agents for biological control of animal and plant pests.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present invention provides edible vaccines comprising transgenic microalgae expressing at least one exogenous antigen or an intervening organism comprising the transgenic microalgae. The antigen expressing microalgae are used for oral delivery of the antigen to a target organism in its intact and functional form. The exogenous antigen, expressed in the microalgae, is characterized by exerting at least one immunogenic response in the subject consuming the vaccine.

Abstract: Provided are edible vaccines including transgenic microalgae expressing at least one exogenous antigen or an intervening organism including the transgenic microalgae. The antigen expressing microalgae are used for oral delivery of the antigen to a target organism in its intact and functional form. The exogenous antigen, expressed in the microalgae, is characterized by exerting at least one immunogenic response in the subject consuming the vaccine.

Abstract: Genetic mechanisms for mitigating the effects of introgression of a genetically engineered genetic trait of cultivated algae or cyanobacteria to its wild type or to an undesirable, interbreeding related species, as well as preventing the establishment of the transgenic algae or cyanobacteria in natural ecosystems by suppressing the activity of the carbon concentrating mechanism.
