The phylum Actinobacteria harbors many important human pathogens and also provides
one of the richest sources of natural products, including numerous antibiotics and other …

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 …

There is a need to clarify relationships within the actinobacterial genus Micromonospora, the
type genus of the family Micromonosporaceae, given its biotechnological and ecological …

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

The genus Frankia is at present the sole genus in the family Frankiaceae and encompasses
filamentous, sporangia-forming actinomycetes principally isolated from root nodules of …

The repeated failures reported in cultivating some microbial lineages are a major challenge
in microbial ecology and probably linked, in the case of Frankia microsymbionts to atypical …

Before the establishment of pure cultures, the species Frankia alni,'Frankia casuarinae'and
'Frankia elaeagni'were proposed to encompass all causal agents of the nitrogen-fixing root …

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 …

We report here the genome sequence of Frankia sp. strain CN3, which was isolated from
Coriaria nepalensis. This genome sequence is the first from the fourth lineage of Frankia …

Strain EuI1c T is the first actinobacterial endophyte isolated from Elaeagnus umbellata that
was shown to be infective on members of Elaeagnaceae and Morella but lacking the ability …
