Abstract
IT is known that Azotobacter cultures can affect the germination of seeds and growth of plants. It is assumed that this influence is due to the presence of physiologically active substances and vitamins in the cultures. Actually, indole-3-acetic acid has been detected in Azotobacter cultures1,2. In a previous paper2 the detection of another growth-active compound, in addition to indole-3-acetic acid, was described. More details about this compound, which appeared to be gibberellic acid, are presented here.
