Abstract

Aim. It has been studied the qualitative and quantitative compositions of the exogenous phytohormones synthesized by soil microorganisms-destructors of organochlorine pollutants hexachlorocyclohexane and hexachlorobenzene: Pseudomonas putida IMV B-7289, Bacillus megaterium IMV B-7287, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia IMV B-7288 and Pseudomonas putida 9. Results. P. putida 9 is an active strain-producer of exogenous auxins and cytokinins readily available for plant: the maximum content of Zeatin and Zeatinrhibozid exceeded their synthesis by another testing strain in 8.3–15.4 times. P. putida 9 is interesting as a component of a complex microbial preparation for the remediation of areas contaminated by organochlorine pesticides. Conclusions.The strain may be used in combination with effective destructors B. megaterium B-7287, and P. putida IMV B-7289, which showed lower ability to synthesize phytohormones investigated. The spectrum of the synthesized extracellular microbial phytohormones is strain characteristic. It has been shown that the total production of exogenous cytokinins.
