Abstract
Culture supernatant fluids of 50 phosphate‐dissolving bacteria isolated from rhizospheres of crop plants were examined for IAA, gibberellins and cytokinins. These bacteria possessed phytase activity and 27 could dissolve rock phosphate. Twenty bacteria synthesized all 3 types of plant hormones, 43 produced IAA, 29 formed gibberellins and 45 cultures produced cytokinin‐like substances. Of the 50 bacteria tested 28 decomposed IAA. Plant growth inhibitors were detected in cultures of some isolates. The ecological significance of these rhizosphere bacteria and their mode of action when used as inoculants is considered.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
