Auxin Production by Azospirillum Brasilense Under Different Cultural Conditions

  • Conference paper

Summary

Different Azospirillum strains grown in the presence of tryptophan were checked for auxin production by HPLC and TLC analyses. The highest levels of auxin were obtained both in N2-fixing conditions and in limiting ammonia stationary cultures of strain Sp6. Two mutants of strain Sp6 were shown to be suitable for plant seedlings inoculation, to discriminate between the N2-fixation effect and the hormonal effect on plant growth.
