Abstract

Gibberellic acid, an important plant growth regulator, is used extensively in agriculture, nurseries, green houses, viticulture, tea-gardens, etc. l. It is traditionally produced by submerged fermentation by employing Gibberella fujikuroi or Fusarium monol~forme*. Spectrophotometric, fluorometric and bioassay methods are routinely used for the estimation of gibberellic acid in fermentation broths or in crude forms3 5, though a variety of other methods are available for its estimation6-lo. Recently, the potential of solid-state fermentation for production of gibberellic acid was established’ l. Preliminary studies indicated that the above routine analytical methods give poor responses unless the crude extract of mouldy bran obtained by solid-state fermentation is extensively purified. Since microbial products, such as mycotoxinsr2-‘*, can now be estimated by spectrofluorodensitometry with greater accuracy19 without resorting to extensive purification, we studied the application of this technique to the estimation of gibberellic acid in crude extracts of mouldy bran obtained by solidstate fermentation.
