Indoleacetamide hydrolase

A careful study of indolic compounds produced by R. phaseoli showed that tryptophan could be converted into lAA, indole-3-ethanol, and indole-3-methanol, but indole-3-acetamide was not formed [189]. Bradyrhizobium, however, were shown to contain indole-3-acetamide as well as the indoleacetamide hydrolase activity, suggesting the presence of the tryptophan monooxygenase/indoleacetamide hydrolase pathway [190,191] in these organisms.
