    To characterize the production and larvicidal activity of Xenorhabdus stockiae KUT6 Petroleum ether extracts from Luria Broth and induced Quorum sensing medium containing N-3- oxododecanoyl Homoserine Lactone inducer against dengue vector Aedes aegypti. The Galleria mellonella larvae were reared for the isolation of Steinernema saimkayi symbiont Xenorhabdus stockiae KUT6 from Cucumber field soil sample in NBTA. Then for the extraction of compounds the KUT6 strains were cultured in Luria Broth and Quorum Sensing optimized media using N-3-oxododecanoyl homoserine lactone inducer. The larvicidal activity of Xenorhabdus stockiae KUT6 of petroleum ether extracts were bioassayed against 4th instar Aedes aegypti dengue vector. The maximum rate of mortality were recorded of the samples A-24h, B-48h, C-72h, A1-24h, B1-48h, C1-72h at different concentrations 50 µg/ml, 100 µg/ml and 150 µg/ml respectively for 24h to 72h of exposure treatment. The morphological characteristics of Xenorhabdus stockiae KUT6 in NBTA were red core colonies with blue background surrounded by zone of inhibition. After 24h exposure maximum rate of 100% mortality of Aedes aegypti 4th instar larvae was attained when treated with sample C1-72h 50 µg/ml of the petroleum ether extracts of quorum sensed medium whereas the sample C 72h petroleum ether extracts of KUT6 cultured in Luria broth recorded 100% mortality at 150 µg on 24h exposure indicates enhancement in the product yield. The study assures the use of Xenorhabdus stockiae KUT6 petroleum ether extracts as biocontrol agent could be beneficial for the control of dengue vectors.
