Frankiella
''Frankia'' is a genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live in symbiosis with actinorhizal plants, similar to the ''Rhizobium'' bacteria found in the root nodules of legumes in the family Fabaceae. ''Frankia'' also initiate the forming of root nodules. This genus was originally named by Jørgen Brunchorst, in 1886 to honor the German biologist Albert Bernhard Frank. Brunchorst considered the organism he had identified to be a filamentous fungus. redefined the genus in 1970 as containing prokaryotic actinomycetes and created the family Frankiaceae within the Actinomycetales. He retained the original name of ''Frankia'' for the genus. Overview Most ''Frankia'' strains are specific to different plant species. The bacteria are filamentous and convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia via the enzyme nitrogenase, a process known as nitrogen fixation. They do this while living in root nodules on actinorhizal plants. The bacteria can supply most or all of the nitrogen requirements ...

Frankia Alni
''Frankia alni'' is a Gram-positive species of actinomycete filamentous bacterium that lives in symbiosis with actinorhizal plants in the genus ''Alnus''. It is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium and forms nodules on the roots of alder trees. Distribution ''Frankia alni'' forms a symbiotic relationship exclusively with trees in the genus ''Alnus''. These are widely distributed in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. One species, ''Alnus glutinosa'', is also found in Africa and another, the Andean alder, ''Alnus acuminata'', extends down the mountainous spine of Central and South America as far as Argentina. Evidence suggests that this alder may have been exploited by the Incas and used to increase soil fertility and stabilize terrace soils in their upland farming systems. Actinomycetota, like ''Frankia alni'', need a flagellum to be mobile, but ''F. alni'' does not have one, and is immobile. ''Alnus'' species grow in a wide range of habitats that include glacial till, sand hil ...
