Percent mortality of late 3rd instar Ae. aegypti larvae after treatment with dilutions of culture supernatants of WT X. innexi, ΔXIS1_460109 and ΔXIS1_460115. Half-fold serial dilutions of cell-free supernatants from cultures of (a) wild type X. innexi, b the XIS1_460115::kan mutant (ΔXIS1_460115), or (c) the XIS1_460109::kan mutant (ΔXIS1_460109) were bioassayed with 20 larvae per concentration. Mortality was recorded at 48 h. Each data point indicates a single experiment (n = 3 experiments). No mortality was observed after larvae incubation in 0.25 dilution or lower of ΔXIS1_460109 and ΔXIS1_460115 supernatants but over 70% mortality was observed in the lowest test concentration of WT X. innexi supernatants
