Larvicidal potency of marine actinobacteria isolated from mangrove environment against Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi

Abstract: The marine soil samples were collected from different locations of Parangipettai mangrove ecosystem, Vellar estuary, southeast coast of India. Totally 30 different marine actinobacteria were isolated by serial dilution plate technique on starch casein agar medium. The isolated actinobacteria were investigated for their larvicidal activity against and mosquitoes. ,, , and were identified as potential biocide producers. Based on the antimicrobial activity, five strains were chosen for larvicidal and pupicidal ac… Show more

“…Similar agreement with the impact of Streptomyces citreofluorescens mediated nanoparticles tested and obtained LC50 value was 122.6 μL/mL and 60.0 μL/mL against A. stephensi and C. quinquefasciatus (Singh and Prakash 2012). The actinobacterial strains showed most significant activity against A. aegypti and A. stephensi at different concentrations (Balakrishnan et al 2017).…”

“…Synthetic insecticides have been effectively used for the past several decades as a method of vector control. However, the effective use of chemical insecticides has been greatly impeded by several factors such as the development of physiological resistance within the target vector, the causing of environmental pollution resulting in the bio amplification of food chain contamination, and the development of harmful effects on other beneficial non-target animals [13]. Therefore, the need for more effective and environment-friendly control agents has become more urgent and as of the moment, biological agents seem to be the most promising and safest alternative.…”

“…Following antibiotic susceptibility and primary screening of five actinobacterial stains, next step was the secondary screening. Ethyl acetate extracts were prepared following methods by Vinodhkumar et al (2015) and Balakrishnan et al (2017). Secondary screening was performed following standard agar well diffusion method (Chaudhary et al, 2013).…”
