Abstract

---

An actinomycete (Dc2) was isolated from the nitrogen fixing root nodules of Dalisca cannabina. The actinomycete Conned hyphae and sporangia, like typical Frankia strains but failed to infect host plants. This noninfective isolate was confirmed as Frankia by sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene, amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
