Characterization of indole acetic acid endophyte producers in authoctonus Lemna gibba plants from Xochimilco Lake

A study on the Historic Centre of Mexico City and Xochimilco reveals that endophytic phytobacteria isolated from Lemna gibba plants exhibit high indole acetic acid (IAA) production, positioning them as promising candidates for biofertilizers. Researchers identified 17 isolates during the dry season and 14 in the rainy season, with seasonal variations influencing bacterial diversity and water quality. The findings contribute to understanding plant-microbial interactions in aquatic ecosystems, particularly within Lemnaceae species, and highlight their potential for mitigating eutrophication while promoting plant growth.
