Is Indole-3-Acetaldehyde (IAALD) a microbial metabolite?

Enterobacter cloacae from cucumber rhizosphere may produce Indole-3-Acetaldehyde (IAALD) through a similar pathway as plants.
Escherichia coli can convert indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA) to indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAld) by indolepyruvate decarboxylase The precursor of indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA) is L-tryptophan (1).
