Diversity of Endophytic Yeasts from Agricultural Fruits Positive for Phytohormone IAA Production.

ABSTRACT: This study reports the diversity of cultivable endophytic yeasts from agricultural fruits that respond positively to the plant-promoting property of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production. The IAA synthesis by the strains was quantified with an Agilent 1100 series liquid chromatography system. IAA was present in the culture liquid of 72% of all 97 strains examined after three days of cultivation. The most active endophytic yeast strains in this study belonged to the species Aureobasidium pullulans, Candida zeylanoides, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Meyerozyma caribbica, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and Yarrowia galli. The highest IAA production was observed in the endophytic strain of A. pullulans (9109.19 ± 146.02 μg/g
