Particularly about: screening methods for growth effects, pseudomonas in

Sergio,
I just noticed the date on your message (you probably have an answer by now!) but I'm working with PGPR at Cornell and found a good assay for auxin production:
De Brito Alvarez, M., Gagne, S. & Antoun, H. (1995). Effect of compost on rhizosphere microflora of the tomato and the incidence of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. Applied and Environmental Microbiology 61, 194-199.

Hope this helps, would love to hear more about your research...I'm just starting in this field.
