Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen (N 2)-fixing legume trees are frequently used for the
restoration of depleted, degraded, and contaminated soils. However, biological N 2 fixation …

Hyper soil salinity is currently one of the major concerns for global agricultural yield as it
directly hinders the qualitative and quantitative aspects of agronomic outcomes. Owing to …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Background Soil salinization is a worldwide problem that is intensifying because of the
effects of climate change. An effective method for the reclamation of salt-affected soils …

Sporulation is a microbial adaptive strategy to resist inhospitable conditions for vegetative
growth and to disperse to colonise more favourable environments. This microbial trait is …

Actinorhizal symbioses are mutualistic relationships between plants having a place with
eight angiosperm families and soil microbes of the genus Frankia. These cooperations give …

Frankia sp. strain KB5 was isolated from Casuarina equisetifolia and previous studies have
shown both nitrogenase and uptake hydrogenase activities under free-living conditions …

Frankia sp. strain B2 was isolated from Casuarina cunninghamiana nodules. Here, we
report the 5.3-Mbp draft genome sequence of Frankia sp. strain B2 with a G+ C content of …
