AbstractAbstract
The 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine and the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine are licensed vaccines that protect against pneumococcal infections worldwide. However, the incidence of pneumococcal diseases remains high in lowincome countries. Whole-cell vaccines with high safety and strong immunogenicity may be a favorable choice. We previously obtained a capsule-deficient Streptococcus pneumoniae mutant named SPY1 derived from strain D39. As an attenuated live pneumococcal vaccine, intranasal immunization with SPY1 elicits broad serotype-independent protection against pneumococcal infection. In this study, for safety consideration, we inactivated SPY1 with 70% ethanol and intranasally immunized BALB/c mice with killed SPY1 plus cholera toxin adjuvant for four times. Results showed that intranasal immunization with inactivated SPY1 induced strong humoral and cellular immune responses. Intranasal immunization with inactivated SPY1 plus cholera toxin adjuvant elicited effective serotype-independent protection against the colonization of pneumococcal strains 19F and 4 as well as lethal infection of pneumococcal serotypes 2, 3, 14, and 6B. The protection rates provided by inactivated SPY1 against lethal pneumococcal infection were comparable to those of currently used polysaccharide vaccines. In addition, vaccinespecific B-cell and T-cell immune responses mediated the protection elicited by SPY1. In conclusion, the 70% ethanolinactivated pneumococcal whole-cell vaccine SPY1 is a potentially safe and less complex vaccine strategy that offers broad protection against S. pneumoniae.

AbstractAbstract
The ectABC genes encoding the biosynthesis of ectoine were identified from Nesterenkonia halobia DSM 20541. The intergenic regions of the ectABC genes from N. halobia DSM 20541 were more loosely spaced than those that had been reported before. The amino acid sequence deduced from ectABC of the strain was highly homologous to the EctABC of Brevibacterium linens BL2 (EctA 50%, EctB 70%, and EctC 68% identities). The osmoprotection of ectABC was studied in the Escherichia coli KNabc and E. coli XL1-Blue. The results revealed that ectABC could shorten the lag phase and enhance the final OD600 of E. coli XL1-Blue in MM63 medium containing 0.68 M NaCl, and could initiate KNabc growth in 0.2 M NaCl. Ectoine was proven to be accumulated in E. coli KNabc/pGEM-Nect using HPLC-UV, and validated by LC-MSD-Trap-VL.

AbstractAbstract
In this study, we attempted to characterize the Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 mutant resultant from a disruption in the gene encoding UDP-glucose: tetrahydrobiopterin [alpha]-glucosyltransferase (BGluT). 2D-PAGE followed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry revealed that phycocyanin rod linker protein 33K was one of the proteins expressed at lower level in the BGluT mutant. BGluT mutant cells were also determined to be more sensitive to high light stress. This is because photosynthetic O_2 exchange rates were significantly decreased, due to the reduced number of functional PSIs relative to the wild type cells. These results suggested that, in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942, BH4-glucoside might be involved in photosynthetic photoprotection.
