Abstract

The production of indole acetic acid (IAA) by plant growth-promoting microorganisms is one of the most important factors for plant growth. Present research work deals with the characterization and optimization of different physiological conditions for IAA production by the fungus Talaromyces trachyspermus. Different environmental factors and medium components were optimized for the production of IAA by fungal culture. Effect of pH, temperature, aeration and concentration of precursor i.e. L-Tryptophan was evaluated on the biomass of fungus along with the IAA production. This work also focused on the effect of different carbon and nitrogen sources in the media for the growth of Talaromyces trachyspermus and IAA production The maximum production of IAA was observed in 15 days of incubation under the condition of 6.5 pH, 28°C temperature, and 140 RPM, in presence of 0.5% of tryptophan, 4% glucose and 0.1% sodium nitrate. After optimization, the yield of IAA by fungal culture was increased up to 0.78 fold as compared to initial production. IAA production by fungal culture was confirmed by thin-layer chromatography and HPLC analysis. Optimization of IAA production by Talaromyces trachyspermus can be useful for the large-scale production of agriculturally important bioactive metabolites. Moreover, the plant growth-promoting efficiency of this fungal culture makes it novel bio-inoculants for sustainable agriculture.
