Abstract: Presents a study on the use of quantum chemical and chromatographic methods in characterizing pathways of bacterial production of indole-3-acetic-acid (IAA). Calculation of free energy changes for the synthesis of several chemical processes that involve IAA; Proposed pathways of bacterial production of IAA; Role of tryptophan in the synthesis of IAA.
