Abstract:

The process of aging is characterized by numerous changes in the body which has an overall negative effect on the health and lifestyle of elderly. Nutrition deserves special attention as an individual reaches old age. It plays a vital role in affecting the quality of life, including physical, mental and social health. The physiological decline in food intake is very common among older age and this result in nutritional deficiencies. These increased nutritional deficiencies are the major risk factors for certain chronic diseases and deteriorated age related health. Thus, the adoption of nutritional intervention can be a measure to tackle the current situation of nutritional deficiencies and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract:

Disruptions in folate metabolism are known to increase the risk for neural tube defects (NTD) and this is preventable by folic acid supplementation. However, the relationship between folate metabolism and cardiac development remains unclear. The interaction between other folate pathway nutrients, choline and riboflavin, and folate metabolism was studied in a murine model of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency. Maternal choline deficiency, riboflavin deficiency and MTHFR deficiency adversely affected embryonic or heart development. The promoters of MTHFR were also examined for interactions with GATA-4, TBX5, MEF2A and NKX-2.5, known transcription factors of cardiac development. Upstream promoter activity was increased in the presence of GATA-4 and this interaction was further enhanced upon the addition of MEF2A. TBX5 appeared to decrease upstream promoter activity. GATA-4 modestly increased downstream promoter activity. These results highlight the importance of adequate nutrient intake during pregnancy and provide a link between folate metabolism and cardiac development.

Abstract:

Interactions between manganese (Mn) deficiency and streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetes with respect to tissue antioxidant status were investigated in male, Sprague-Dawley rats. All rats were fed either a Mn-deficient (1 ppm) or a Mn-sufficient (45 ppm) diet for 8 weeks. Diabetes was then induced by tail-vein injection of STZ (60 mg/kg body weight), after which the rats were kept for an additional 4 to 8 weeks. The control groups comprised rats not injected with STZ, which were either Mn-deficient or Mn-sufficient. The Mn-deficient diet decreased the activities of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in kidney and heart, and of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) in kidney, in non-diabetic animals. In the diabetic rats, the Mn-deficient diet induced more pronounced decreases in activities of these same enzymes, and also increased liver MnSOD activity. Pancreas weights were significantly lower in Mn-deficient, compared to Mn-sufficient rats. Also, Mn-deficient, diabetic rats were significantly more hyperglycemic in response to a glucose load than Mn-sufficient, suggesting that they may have been more severely diabetic. Surprisingly, plasma and hepatic vitamin E levels increased progressively with the duration of diabetes. Lipid peroxidation, as measured by H₂O₂ -induced production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in erythrocytes, plasma lipoperoxides, and renal adipose tissue fluorescence, also increased concomitant with decreased liver and kidney glutathione levels. The effect of vitamin E-deficiency on Mn-deficient, diabetic rats was also investigated. Predictably, vitamin E-deficient rats were almost entirely depleted of plasma and liver vitamin E after 12 weeks on the deficient diets (4 weeks after STZ treatment). Consistent with this, tissue lipid peroxides were elevated compared to vitamin E-sufficient rats. Superimposing vitamin E-deficiency on manganese deficiency failed to add any further deficits in tissue antioxidant status. Higher glycosylated hemoglobin levels were observed in vitamin E-deficient, compared to vitamin E-sufficient, diabetic rats. These findings demonstrate for the first time an interactive effect between manganese deficiency and STZ-diabetes resulting in amplification of tissue antioxidant changes seen with either manganese deficiency or STZ-diabetes alone. This effect of cofactor deprivation in experimental diabetes raises the question of adequacy of the nominally Mn-sufficient diet in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Nutritional deficiencies detection for coffee leaves is a task which is often undertaken manually by experts on the field known as agronomists. The process they follow to carry this task is based on observation of the different characteristics of the coffee leaves while relying on their own experience. Visual fatigue and human error in this empiric approach cause leaves to be incorrectly labeled and thus affecting the quality of the data obtained. In this context, different crowdsourcing approaches can be applied to enhance the quality of the data extracted. These approaches separately propose the use of voting systems, association rule filters and evolutive learning. In this paper, we extend the use of association rule filters and evolutive approach by combining them in a methodology to enhance the quality of the data while guiding the users during the main stages of data extraction tasks. Moreover, our methodology proposes a reward component to engage users and keep them motivated during the crowdsourcing tasks. The extracted dataset by applying our proposed methodology in a case study on Peruvian coffee leaves resulted in 93.33% accuracy with 30 instances collected by 8 experts and evaluated by 2 agronomic engineers with background on coffee leaves. The accuracy of the dataset was higher than independently implementing the evolutive feedback strategy and an empiric approach which resulted in 86.67% and 70% accuracy respectively under the same conditions.

Abstract:

Objectives: The goal of this project was to determine the nutritional needs of preschool age children to help guide intervention development. The research aims were 1) to examine and describe young child (ages one to five) nutritional status as it relates to key nutrients associated with stunting and wasting; 2) to determine what key macro- and micro-nutrient deficiencies (primarily iron and zinc) are associated with wasting and stunting. Methodology: Study sample: Sixty-seven families with children ages one to five who participating in routine health care clinic visits during the UK Shoulder to Shoulder Global health brigade visits. Study design: A cross-sectional survey was conducted collecting demographic data, medical history, and dietary intake. Objective measures of height/length and weight were completed; and blood samples were drawn to measure serum micronutrient levels. Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) identified nutrient intakes for analytical comparison based on growth parameters. Nutritional and health status were compared to food security and World Health Organization growth reference points of standard deviations on Z-scores of height-for-age and weight-for-age. Analyses: Chi Square, ANOVA, and binary logistic regression tests were run using Statistical Analysis System (SAS) Results: Low serum levels of zinc and iron corresponded to low levels of dietary intake of zinc and iron, limited food security and moderate stunting z = -0 to 1.99 Standard Deviation. Conclusion: This study will inform a comprehensive nutritional intervention for this population. The evidence that specific nutrients are limiting will focus the health promotion objectives.

Full text

Abstract:

This study examines the relative influence of traditional and biomedical theories of health and disease on the reasoning about childhood nutritional problems by mothers in rural South India. Mothers with different levels of schooling, traditional practitioners, and medical experts were interviewed. Their explanations of nutritional problems were verbally recorded and analysed using methods of cognitive analyses.
Nutritional concepts and their interpretations given in the mothers' explanations matched that of the traditional theory of Siddha medicine, prevalent in South India. With an increase in formal education, there was an increase in the use of concepts derived from modern biomedical theory. However, the mothers exhibited little understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved. Implications of these findings for designing nutrition and health education are discussed, in relation to knowledge reorganization to replace harmful concepts and relations with beneficial ones.

Abstract:

In a context of extreme poverty and food insecurity, 213 pregnant women belonging to the Ngäbe-Buglé indigenous community in rural Panama were assessed for respiratory, oral, skin, urogenital infections and intestinal parasites, and for iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, A and D deficiencies in a cross sectional study. Fetal wellbeing was assessed through simple measurements available in the field (fundal height -FH, fetal cardiac rate -FCR and fetal movements -FM as perceived by the mothers). Infections and micronutrient deficiencies were extremely prevalent, with all mothers affected by at least one condition and most affected by several. Inflammation indicated by high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) was found in 16.5% of the mothers. CRP was significantly higher in women with oral infection and/or respiratory infections alone or in combination with genital infection or hookworm infection. CRP was significantly lower in women with lower levels of iron and vitamin B12, in women with vitamin D levels above 75 nmol/L and vitamin A levels above 20 μg/dL. Intra-uterine growth retardation was found in 7% of the fetuses, 27% of fetuses were categorized as large for gestational age, but the majority was found as adequate for gestational age (66%). Fetal cardiac rate and fetal movements were within normal limits. Indicators of infections, micronutrient deficiencies, and maternal inflammation were associated in a complex manner with our simple measures of fetal wellbeing. FH was negatively associated with higher percent of monocytes accompanied by higher mean corpuscular volume in the second trimester, and with vitamin D in the third trimester, while controlling for gestational age, maternal body mass index and wood smoke exposure. Indicators of infection also entered regression models for FCR and FM, indicating early fetal responses to mild-moderate extra-uterine maternal infections.
Une étude transversale ayant pour but d'évaluer l'état immunitaire et la présence d'infections respiratoires, orales, cutanées, urinaires et parasitaires, ainsi que l'état nutritionnel, notamment les déficiences en vitamines B12, A, D, en fer et folate. Cette étude fut menée auprès de 213 femmes enceintes de la communauté rurale du Ngäbe-Buglé au Panama vivant dans l'extrême pauvreté et l'insécurité alimentaire. L'état de santé du fœtus a été évalué usant des mesures disponibles lors des visites prénatales, incluant la hauteur utérine (HU), la fréquence cardiaque fœtale (FCF) et les mouvements fœtaux (MF) tel qu'estimés par la mère. La présence d'inflammation, signalée par une augmentation de la protéine-C réactive (PCR), fut observée chez 16.5% des mères. De plus, la PCR était significativement plus élevée chez les mères souffrant d'infections orales et/ou respiratoires, soit séparément, soit accompagnées d'infections génitales ou d'anchylostomes. Chez les femmes ayant une concentration plasmique abaissée en fer ou vitamine B12, en vitamine A au-dessus 20 μg/dL ou en vitamine D au-dessus de 75 nmol/L, la PCR était significativement inférieure. Un retard de croissance intra-utérin fut décelé chez 7% des fœtus, 27% naquirent gros pour leur âge gestationnel et 66% naquirent avec d'un poids normal. La FCF et les MF se révélèrent être dans les limites normales. Les marqueurs d'infections, de déficiences en micronutriments et d'inflammation maternelle étaient associés de façon complexe aux mesures de bien être fœtal. Après avoir contrôlé pour l'âge gestationnel, l'indice de masse corporelle de la mère et l'exposition à fumée de bois, nous avons observe que l'HU est négativement associée au pourcentage de monocytes et au volume corpusculaire moyen d'hémoglobine lors du deuxième trimestre, ainsi qu'a fœtus la vitamine D lors du troisième trimestre. Les marqueurs d'infection furent évalues usant des modèles de régression multiples pour la FCF et les MF, et ceux-ci indiquèrent une réponse fœtale précoce face aux infections maternelles extra-utérines légères a modérées.

Abstract:

Trabalho Complementar apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de licenciada em Ciências da Nutrição
Objetivos: Pretendem-se estudar as deficiências em micro e macro nutriente que o alcoolismo provoca e o seu tratamento nutricional. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura, onde se avaliaram os efeitos do álcool a nível das deficiências nutricionais que pode originar. A pesquisa foi realizada no motor de busca Pubmed, no site da Organização Mundial de Saúde e na biblioteca online Scielo, incidindo nas publicações dos últimos 12 anos. Resultados: O alcoolismo influencia o metabolismo dos hidratos de carbono, originando hipoglicemia. A nível do metabolismo das proteínas ocorre uma diminuição da absorção dos aminoácidos essenciais, após o consumo de álcool. No metabolismo lipídico, o álcool quando consumido em excesso, leva a uma acumulação de lípidos no fígado, condição comumente conhecida como esteatose hepática. O alcoolismo origina também deficiências vitamínicas e minerais. Para tratar estes défices nutricionais é necessária a intervenção de um profissional, tendo o nutricionista um papel fundamental. Conclusão: Indivíduos alcoólicos crónicos tendem a sofrer de desnutrição, tanto a nível de micronutrientes como de macronutrientes, o que pode levar a determinadas patologias como pelagra, síndrome Wernicke-Korsakoff, entre outras, sendo essencial a reposição destes nutrientes com a suplementação e o aporte energético adequados a cada individuo.
Objectives: We intend to study the deficiencies in micro and macro nutrients that alcoholism causes and its nutritional treatment. Methods: A literature review was carried out, in which were evaluated the effects of alcohol on the level of nutritional deficiencies that may originate. The research was carried out on the Pubmed search engine, on the World Health Organization website and on the Scielo online library, focusing on publications from the last 12 years. Results: Alcoholism influences the metabolism of carbohydrates, causing hypoglycemia. In terms of protein metabolism, there is a decrease in the absorption of essential amino acids after alcohol consumption. In lipid metabolism, alcohol, when consumed in excess, leads to an accumulation of lipids in the liver, a condition commonly known as fatty liver. Alcoholism also causes vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In order to treat these nutritional deficits, the intervention of a professional is necessary, with the nutritionist having a fundamental role. Conclusion: Chronic alcoholic individuals tend to suffer from malnutrition, both in terms of micronutrients and macronutrients, which can lead to certain pathologies such as pellagra, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, among others, and the replacement of these nutrients with supplementation and contribution is essential. appropriate to each individual.

Abstract:

INTRODUÇÃO: O cuidado nutricional é parte essencial para o acompanhamento integral da crescente população idosa, principalmente quando na presença de doenças crônicas e neurodegenerativas e morbidades psiquiátricas. A Mini Avaliação Nutricional (MAN®), tem sido utilizada para este fim, e em algumas situações, informações adicionais a essa ferramenta são necessárias. OBJETIVOS: Caracterizar o estado nutricional de idosos acompanhados em ambulatório de neuropsiquiatria geriátrica. MÉTODOS: Foi obtida uma amostra de conveniência selecionada aleatoriamente entre pacientes idosos com diagnóstico de depressão (DEP), doença de Alzheimer (DA) e outros transtornos psiquiátricos (OTP). O estado nutricional foi avaliados através da MAN®, pelo índice de massa corporal (IMC= peso/altura2) e pelas circunferências do braço (CB) e panturrilha (CP). Os dados referentes ao consumo de medicamentos também foram obtidos, considerando-se como polifarmácia o consumo de mais de três medicamentos/dia. Os dados de diagnóstico médico e exames laboratoriais foram obtidos do prontuário médico. Foram avaliados 217 indivíduos no total, distribuídos conforme o diagnóstico clínico: grupo DEP= 107 (49,3%); grupo DA=59 (27,2%) e grupo OTP=51 (23,5%). RESULTADOS: O escore da MAN® identificou risco nutricional em 67,3%, 69,5% e 54,9%, e desnutrição em 14,0%, 13,6% e 27,5% dos pacientes em DEP, DA e OTP respectivamente. O baixo peso, avaliado pelo IMC foi observado em 29,0% (DEP), 24,1% (DA) e 45,1% (OTP) dos avaliados. A prevalência de anemia foi de 11,2% (DEP), 10,2% (DA) e 19,6% (OTP); sendo mais frequente em mulheres em DEP e OTP e em homens em DA. A média para vitamina D em todos os grupos encontrava-se na insuficiência. A presença de colesterol total acima dos intervalos de normalidade foi de 47,0% (DEP), 36,3% (DA) e 31,8% (OTP). Foi observada hiperglicemia em 52,9% (DEP), 48,1% (DA) e 41,6% (OTP) dos pacientes. A polifarmácia foi observada em 18,7% (DEP), 15,2% (DA) e 19,6% (OTP). Não houve associação significativa entre o uso de medicamentos e o estado nutricional, embora tenha sido apontado um direcionamento ao risco de desnutrição com o uso de medicamentos para o tratamento da depressão (inibidores seletivos de receptação de serotonina), demências (inibidores de colinesterase), cloridrato de omeprazol e indutores do sono. CONCLUSÕES: o risco nutricional e a desnutrição são prevalentes na população estudada, independente do grupo específico de doença neuropsiquiátrica ou demência. Esses achados demandam e justificam um monitoramento nutricional permanente para esses indivíduos, uma vez que vem acompanhados de outras deficiências específicas que comprometem a saúde de forma geral, como a anemia e insuficiência de vitamina D. A elaboração de planos educativos envolvendo os pacientes, cuidadores e a equipe médica, poderá contribuir para a melhora dessas condições.
INTRODUCTION: Nutritional care is an essential part for the integral follow - up of the growing elderly population, especially in the presence of chronic and neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric morbidities. The Mini Nutrition Assessment (MAN®) has been used for this purpose, and in some situations, additional information to this tool is necessary. OBJECTIVES: To characterize the nutritional status of elderly patients in a geriatric neuropsychiatry clinic. METHODS: A randomly selected convenience sample was obtained among elderly patients diagnosed with depression (DEP), Alzheimer\'s disease (AD) and other psychiatric disorders (OTP). The nutritional status was evaluated through MAN®, body mass index (BMI = weight / height2) and circumference of arm (CB) and calf (CP). The data referring to the consumption of medicines were also obtained, considering as polypharmacy the consumption of more than three medications/day. The data of medical diagnosis and laboratory tests were obtained from the medical record. A total of 217 individuals were evaluated, distributed according to the clinical diagnosis: DEP = 107 (49.3%); Group DA = 59 (27.2%) and OTP group = 51 (23.5%). RESULTS: The MAN® score identified nutritional risk in 67.3%, 69.5% and 54.9%, and malnutrition in 14.0%, 13.6% and 27.5% of the patients in DEP, DA and OTP respectively. Low weight, evaluated by BMI, was observed in 29.0% (DEP), 24.1% (AD) and 45.1% (BTP) of the evaluated patients. The prevalence of anemia was 11.2% (DEP), 10.2% (AD) and 19.6% (OTP); Being more frequent in women in DEP and OTP and in men in AD. The mean for vitamin D in all groups was in the insufficiency. The presence of total cholesterol above the normality intervals was 47.0% (DEP), 36.3% (DA) and 31.8% (OTP). Hyperglycemia was observed in 52,9% (DEP), 48,1% (AD) and 41,6% (OTP) of the patients. Polypharmacy was observed in 18.7% (DEP), 15.2% (DA) and 19.6% (OTP). There was no significant association between drug use and nutritional status, although there was a trend towards malnutrition with the use of drugs to treat depression (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), dementias (cholinesterase inhibitors), Omeprazole hydrochloride and sleep inducers. CONCLUSIONS: nutritional risk and malnutrition are prevalent in the population studied, regardless of the specific group of neuropsychiatric disease or dementia. These findings demand and justify a permanent nutritional monitoring for these individuals, since they are accompanied by other specific deficiencies that compromise health in general, such as anemia and insufficiency of vitamin D. The elaboration of educational plans involving patients, caregivers and The medical team, could contribute to the improvement of these conditions.

Abstract:

Nutritional deficiencies are estimated to affect at least one third of the world’s population. Although they are most common in developing countries, they are also found in the developed world where they often occur in the setting of alcoholism, eating disorders, post bariatric surgery, and malabsorptive disorders. Neurologic manifestations of vitamin deficiencies are varied, reflecting the diversity of biochemical activity of vitamins throughout the nervous system. Here the neurological manifestations of common vitamin deficiencies are examoned, beginning with a discussion of relevant biochemistry and pathophysiology of each respective vitamin. Several micronutrients are included in the tables within this chapter.

Abstract:

Engineers and scientists are able to understand and analyze the behavior of complex engineering systems in a wide range of critical technologies through hierarchical modeling followed by simulation of the model operation. This process results in a high fidelity integrated model as each level in the hierarchy is modeled in sufficient detail. The overall objective of this effort is to develop a sophisticated hierarchical model of the human body, followed by simulation of the model operation. In this initial research phase, the feasibility of the concept is explored and a framework for the model is described. A six-level model consisting of the whole body as a system, system of systems, organs, tissues, cells, and molecules is proposed and described. This paper explains that the human body is amenable to such hierarchical modeling and describes the benefits that can be achieved. The systems in the body deal with numerous processes: electrical, chemical, biochemical, energy conversion, transportation, pumping, sensing, communications, and so on. Control volume models for the organs in the body capture the mass and energy balance and chemical reactions. Tissue can be represented similar to structural components made of various biomaterials. Cells can be represented as a manufacturing and maintenance workforce assisted by molecular reactions. Following the representation of a healthy body, simulation runs by inserting faults and/or deficiencies in the operational parameters into the model could reveal the causes for specific diseases and illnesses. Such modeling and simulation will benefit medical, pharmaceutical, nutritional specialists, and engineers in designing, developing, and delivering products and services to enable humans to lead healthy lives.

Abstract:

Background: dementia is a syndrome characterized by the presence of a progressive deficit in cognitive function, with interference in social and occupational activities, with risk factors varying with genetic and environmental stressors. The differential diagnosis must identify potentially reversible conditions, of different etiologies, such as metabolic changes, intoxications, and nutritional deficiencies. In primary degenerative dementias and sequelae forms, the etiological diagnosis carries therapeutic and prognostic implications. Objectives: to analyse the current epidemiological profile of dementia in the state of São Paulo in the last 5 years. Methods: a literature review was carried out based on articles available in the Scielo and PubMed database and an observational, descriptive and cross- sectional collection of epidemiological data on dementias available in DATASUS – SUS Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) – in the last 5 years – January 2016 to December 2020 – assessing the number of hospitalizations, the amount of public spending, mortality rate and permanence. Results: in the analyzed period, 3.105 hospitalizations were observed due to occurrences related to dementia, representing a total expenditure of R$37.847.961,13, with 2017 being the year with the highest number of hospitalizations and responsible for the highest amount spent. The total mortality rate in the 5 years studied was 5,57, corresponding to 173 deaths, with 2020 being the year with the highest rate while 2017 had the lowest rate. The average of the permanence in the hospital was 180 days. Conclusion: patients with dementia need early diagnosis and procedures to reduce the rate of hospitalizations and mortality, as well as public costs. For this, technological innovations, using structural and functional neuroimaging methods, as well as biology and molecular genetics techniques, have presented perspectives for the early diagnosis of dementia.

Full text

Abstract:

Cereal seeds are the basis of the human diet, and their amino acid composition is thus of major nutritional and economic importance. Currently, deficiencies in essential amino acids are addressed, when possible, by additionalprotein sources or by supplementing animal feed with non-cereal protein or synthetic amino acids. A number of strategies have been suggested to make cereal flours more complete and balanced sources of amino acids, although systematic examination of such strategies is rare. This project proposed to begin such a systematic examination using four complementary and parallel approaches to increasing wheat seed lysine: 1) Modifying endogenous wheat seed proteins for increased lysine composition. 2) Overexpression of naturally occurring high-lysine proteins in the wheat endosperm. 3) Ectopic expression of proteins in the wheat endosperm. 4) Alteration of free lysine levels in the wheat endosperm. The results of these studies are expected to be wheat lines with increased lysine content and will establish a clearer understanding of the approaches most likely to enhance cereal seed protein quality. Progress is reported for all four objectives, with a significant foundation for further work on two of the objectives (modification of wheat storage proteins and lysine metabolism). Plans for continuing work on all four objectives are briefly outlined.

Abstract:

Global climate change and warming temperatures represent the greatest future challenge for global food production and quality. In this project, we will define the genetic factors of climate-associated taste deficiencies in carrot. Carrot is considered one of the leading horticultural crops in the world in terms of its nutritional value, health benefits, and unique flavor based on its high content of carotenoids and volatile aroma compounds. In recent years, carrot genotypes of different color with improved nutraceutical attributes have been developed. When exposed to high growth temperatures, carrots develop an undesired harsh and bitter taste caused by the accumulation of terpene metabolites. This taste deficiency represents a quality defect to carrot breeders and large- scale growers and needs to be minimized for successful marketing of carrot crops. Surprisingly, the genetic determinants of bitter and harsh flavor in carrot and their response to temperature stress are not well characterized. We started to elucidate these factors in different carrot cultivars by investigating the biosynthesis of volatile terpenes, which represent the predominant flavor compounds in carrots. Also, up to date we identified and characterized two terpenesynthase enzymes, one of which produces (E)-β- caryophyllene, a major terpene component in carrot root. Both TPSs may contribute to the observed variation in volatile terpene formation.

Development of Sodium Alginate Encapsulation of Diatom Concentrates as a Nutrient Delivery System to Enhance Growth and Survival of Post-Larvae Abalone. United States Department of Agriculture, September 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2001.7586480.bard.

Abstract:

The major bottlenecks in rearing the highly priced gastropod abalone (Haliotis spp.) are the slow growth rate and the high mortality during the first 8 to 12 weeks following metamorphosis and settling. The most likely reason flor these problems is related to nutritional deficiencies in the diatom diet on which the post larvae (PL) feed almost exclusively in captivity. Higher survival and improved growth rate will reduce the considerable expense of hatchery-nursery resisdence time and thereflore the production costs. BARD supported our research for one year only and the support was given to us in order to prove that "(1) Abalone PL feed on encapsulated diatoms, and (2) heterotrophic diatoms can be mass produced." In the course of this year we have developed a novel nutrient delivery system specifically designed to enhance growth and survival of post-larval abalone. This approach is based on the sodium-alginate encapsulation of heterotrophically grown diatoms or diatom extracts, including appetite-stimulating factors. Diatom species that attract the PL and promote the highest growth and survival have been identified. These were also tested by incorporating them (either intact cells or as cell extracts) into a sodium-alginate matrix while comparing the growth to that achieved when using diatoms (singel sp. or as a mixture). A number of potential chemoattractants to act as appetite-stimulating factors for abalone PL have been tested. Preliminary results show that the incorporation of the amino acid methionine at a level of 10-3M to the sodim alginate matrix leads to a marked enhancement of growth. The results ol these studies provided basic knowledge on the growth of abalone and showed that it is possible to obtain, on a regular basis, survival rates exceeding 10% for this stage. Prior to this study the survival rates ranged between 2-4%, less than half of the values achieved today. Several diatom species originated from the National Center for Mariculture (Nitzchia laevis, Navicula lenzi, Amphora T3, and Navicula tennerima) and Cylindrotheca fusiformis (2083, 2084, 2085, 2086 and 2087 UTEX strains, Austin TX) were tested for heterotrophic growth. Axenic colonies were initially obtained and following intensive selection cycles and mutagenesis treatments, Amphora T3, Navicula tennerima and Cylindrotheca fusiformis (2083 UTEX strain) were capable of growing under heterotrophic conditions and to sustain highly enriched mediums. A highly efficient selection procedure as well as cost effective matrix of media components were developed and optimized. Glucose was identified as the best carbon source for all diatom strains. Doubling times ranging from 20-40 h were observed, and stable heterotroph cultures at a densities range of 103-104 were achieved. Although current growth rates are not yet sufficient for full economical fermentation, we estimate that further selections and mutagenesis treatments cycles should result in much faster growing colonies suitable for a fermentor scale-up. As rightfully pointed out by one of the reviewers, "There would be no point in assessing the optimum levels of dietary inclusions into micro-capsules, if the post-larvae cannot be induced to consume those capsules in the first place." We believe that the results of the first year of research provide a foundationfor the continuation of this research following the objectives put forth in the original proposal. Future work should concentrate on the optimization of incorporation of intact cells and cell extracts of the developed heterotrophic strains in the alginate matrix, as well as improving this delivery system by including liposomes and chemoattractants to ensure food consumption and enhanced growth.
