Abstract

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a vital plant hormone that significantly influences plant growth and development. The present investigation was designed to isolate Streptomyces species from rhizospheric soil and evaluate their ability to synthesize IAA. Selected isolates were screened using the Salkowski colorimetric method. Further, different cultural conditions such as pH, temperature, and L-tryptophan concentration were optimized to enhance IAA production. The most efficient isolate was subjected to molecular identification through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The findings indicated that optimized conditions resulted in a marked increase in IAA yield. Molecular analysis confirmed the identity of the isolate as a member of Streptomyces. The study suggests the potential application of these strains in sustainable agricultural practices.
