Quantification of auxin-like compounds from T. virens
T. virens was inoculated in 1 L of nutrient solution with or without 100 mg of l-Trp, and determinations were performed by GC-MS after 3 d of growth. Data shown are means ± se for samples from three independent cultures (n = 3). Different letters represent means statistically different at the 0.05 level.
