Indole-3acetic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were measured in these specimens by means of the methods described by Weissbach et al. 4 and Udenfriend, Titus and Weissbach, 6 respectively.

Bacteria that have the enzyme tryptophanase, can convert the amino acid, tryptophane to indole. Indole reacts with added Kovac’s reagent to form rosindole dye which is red in color (indole +).

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a natural product of Brassica vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage, inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in various cancer cells. I3C has recently received ...

Flowering plants need indole: Indole is important for plant defense and for attracting pollinators. Indole biosynthesis occurs via a pseudoenzyme : Although TSB-like is essential for indole formation, ...
