Since the recognition of the name Frankia in the Approved Lists of bacterial names (1980),
few amendments have been given to the genus description. Successive editions of Bergey's …

Root endosymbioses are mutualistic interactions between plants and the soil
microorganisms (Fungus, Frankia or Rhizobium) that lead to the formation of nitrogen-fixing …

Frankia strains are nitrogen-fixing soil actinobacteria that can form root symbioses with
actinorhizal plants. Phylogenetically, symbiotic frankiae can be divided into three clusters …

Background The ability to establish root nodule symbioses is restricted to four different plant
orders. Soil actinobacteria of the genus Frankia can establish a symbiotic relationship with a …

The actinorhizal symbiosis is a mutualistic relationship between an actinobacterium from the
genus Frankia and a wide variety of dicotyledonous plants representing 8 different families …

Frankia strains induce the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on roots of actinorhizal plants.
Phylogenetically, Frankia strains can be grouped in four clusters. The earliest divergent …

Introduction Actinorhizal symbioses are gaining attention due to the importance of symbiotic
nitrogen fixation in sustainable agriculture. Sea buckthorn (Hippophae L.) is an important …

Strain ARgP5T, an actinobacterium isolated from a root nodule present on an Alnus incana
subspecies rugosa shrub growing in Quebec City, Canada, was the subject of polyphasic …

Two types of symbioses are known where nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria induce the formation
of special organs, ie nodules, on the roots of their dicotyledonous host plants; legume …

There have been frequent reports of more than one strain of the nitrogen-fixing symbiont,
Frankia, in the same root nodule of plants in the genus Alnus, but quantitative assessments …
