Abstract Rhodobacter sphaeroides photoproduced indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) when the precursor L-tryptophan was added to the basal medium. Of the other organic carbon sources that influenced IAA formation from L-tryptophan, α-ketoglutaric acid gave the maximum formation of 530 mg 1−1 in less than 24 h of illuminated anaerobic incubation. IAA was also produced from indole, glycine and glucose together by Rb. sphaeroides under photoanaerobic conditions yielding 61 mg l−1 within 30 fh.
