Abstract
249 fungal strains were isolated from the roots of 26 plants, and the production of GAs was spectrophotometric ally examined. As a result 76 fungal strains were shown to produce GAs. Bioassay of culture broth from seventy six fungal strains producing GAs was carried out with waito-c rice, that is dwarf rice. The seventy six fungi with GAs-producing activity were incubated for seven days in 40 mL of Czapek's liquid medium at $30^{\circ}C$ and 180 rpm, and the culture broth of fungi were treated on the 2-leaf rice sprout. Fifteen of these showed plant growth promoting activity and the amount of each GAs in the medium was measured by Gas chromatographymass spectrometer (GC-MS). Nine of these fungi were also identified by genetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences in the internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal DNA.
