An endophytic bacterium isolated from roots of the halophyte Prosopis strombulifera produces ABA, IAA, gibberellins A1 and A3 and jasmonic acid in chemically-defined culture medium

This paper informs the characterization by 16SrDNA partial sequence analysis of an endophytic diazotrophic bacterium isolated from roots of the halophyte shrub Prosopis strombulifera . The bacterium produced ABA, IAA, GA 1 , GA 3 and jasmonic acid in chemically-defined culture medium as assessed by GC-EIMS. The results emphasize the role of phytohormones produced by endophytic bacteria in the association host-beneficial microorganisms, especially under conditions of adverse environments.
