Notes:
The Rhizobium sp. When isolated form the root nodules of a leguminous climbing shrub Derris scandens produced a high amount of indole acetic acid (IAA) (135.2 μg/ml) from the tryptophan-supple-mented basal medium. Growth and IAA production started simultaneously, and the maximum amount of IAA was produced as a secondary metabolite in the stationary phase of growth. The IAA production by the Rhizobium sp. was increased by 503% when the medium was supplemented with mannitol (2%), KNO3 (0.2%), nicotinic acid (0.1 μg/ml) and MnSO4 (1 μg/ml) in addition to tryptophan (4 mg/ml)/The possible role of the rhizobial production of IAA on the rhizobia-legume symbiosis is also discussed.
