Indole-3-acetic acid degradation in a novel strain Pseudomonas composti LY1

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), knows as common plant hormone, is one of the most distributed indole derivatives in the environment. A novel strain, which was able to use IAA as sole source of carbon and nitrogen, was isolated from farm soil, identified and classified as Pseudomonas composti LY1 based on 16S rRNA sequence and genome analysis. The optimal growth conditions for LY1 with IAA are characterized. Proteome profile of strain LY1 to IAA and citrate were analyzed and compared using label free strategy with LC-MS/MS.
