  • Abstract:
  • Marine environment is treasure of microbes and their valued metabolites are explored in various fields including agriculture. Auxin is well known plant hormone has role in growth and development of plants. In the present investigation 42 different microbial strains were isolated from marine water sample using Zobell agar media (hi media). From the 42 different microbial strains 18 marine Pseudomonas species were isolated using cetrimide agar. These isolated Pseudomonas species were screened for their inherent potential for the production of indole acetic acid (IAA) by qualitative and quantitative studies using Salkowasky test. The marine Pseudomonas strains such as RSML 04, RSML 08, RSML 02 and RSML12 were found to produce IAA. Optimization studies of potential IAA producing isolate were conducted in reference with L-Tryptophan concentration, temperature and pH.
