IAA production of indigenous isolate of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in the presence of tryptophan

The plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRBs) is an interesting way to promote increased vegetable production. Here, we aimed to isolate, identify, and characterize PGPRBs by using biochemical tests, sequencing of 16S ribossomal DNA, in vitro and screening for indoleacetic acid production. The isolates were identified through VITEK® 2 Compact equipment, which is an automated system. We identified microorganisms such as Alcaligenes faecalis sp. faecalis, Pseudomonas putida, Proteus vulgaris, Providencia rettgeri, Serratia marcescens e Myroides sp. by performing vitek 2 biochemical tests. The analysis of sequencing data for 16S ribossomal DNA of the isolated bacteria showed presence of A. faecalis, Myroides sp., P. putida, P. vulgaris, Providencia sp. and Serratia sp. The in vitro screening of all isolated bacteria showed production of indoleacetic acid under presence of tryptophan, highlighting that higher concentrations were produced by Providencia sp. and Myroides sp. The rhizobacteria studied here have shown the potential to be used in the development of new products for plant growth-promoting.
