AB - More “diffusible” auxin is received from nonsterile than from sterile corn coleoptile tips. An artificial reinfection of sterile coleoptiles with epiphytic, IAA‐producing bacteria strains does, a superinfection of nonsterile coleoptiles does not increase the auxin amount. The difference between sterile and nonsterile tips persists if diffusion from the coleoptile surface is excluded by covering the surface with a paraffin layer. The greater the distance from the apex, the higher becomes the superiority of nonsterile tips. An artificial bacterial contamination of the contact face between tip and receiver agar block, or addition of glucose and tryptophan to the agar block, do not influence the received auxin amount. Consequently the additional, bacteria‐produced auxin delivered by the nonsterile tip is not produced at the cut surface or in the agar but is present in the tissues of the coleoptile tip.
