Abstract

The genus Azospirillum contains free-life diazotroph bacteria in tropical and subtropical soils in association with roots from economically important crops as rice, wheat and diverse vegetable species. Most studies carried out with this genus have demonstrated its practically universal distribution and its numerous effects on the growth of colonized plants, so that they are promissory for its application in agriculture. In this work, the chemotactic effect of root exudates from rice variety J-104 is demonstrated on two strains of A. brasilense R5(15) and Sp 7, as well as the capacity of them to produce auxins 16.60 µg.mL-1 and 11.82 µg.mL-1, respectively
