Abstract

The current study reports the Gibberellic acid production by Bacillus licheniformis DS3 isolated from banana field soils, Tadepalli, Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Various physical conditions (incubation period, pH, effect of mevalonic acid, carbon and nitrogen sources) affected by gibberellic acid production. The highest level of gibberellic production (83.7µg/ml) was obtained in the nutrient broth media when the Bacillus licheniformis DS3 was incubated for 48 h of incubation and at pH 7.0. Maximum production of (67.5µg/ml) was recorded in 60 mM concentration of mevalonic acid. Carbon and nitrogen sources also greatly influenced the Gibberellic acid production. Maximum production was recorded at 1% glucose and 0.5% yeast extracts were used as carbon and nitrogen sources. Possession of plant growth promoting traits, like Bacillus licheniformis DS3 a potential strain to be developed as multifunctional biofertilizer.
