dc.description.abstractBackground & objectives: Malaria, a vector-borne disease, is caused by Plasmodium species and transmitted by Anopheles species. Among these vectors, Anopheles subpictus has emerged as a potent malarial vector in coastal areas of India. Numerous studies have highlighted that bacterial communities within mosquito influence vector com- petence. The present study was designed to isolate and characterize bacterial microbiota from An. subpictus larvae. Methods: Isolation and purification of the predominant bacterial strain (AL1) was carried out. Morphological, bio- chemical, antibiotic susceptibility and molecular characterization of the isolated bacteria was performed. Results: Bacterial isolate (AL1) was found to be rod, gram negative, catalase positive and oxidase negative. AL1 was identified as Leclercia adecarboxylata (Accession number: OR649235) through 16S rRNA ribotyping. Further, the leaf extract of Nyctanthes arbortristis showed inhibitory effect against AL1. Interpretation & conclusion: The study provided the first report on the isolation of symbiotic bacteria (L. adecarbox- ylata) from An. subpictus and its control by leaf extract of Nyctanthes arbortristis. Isolated gram-negative bacterial strain might inhibit the development of mosquito vectors and can be implemented for various biological control strategies to combat malaria transmission.en_US
