All of the following statements concerning actinomycetous filamentous soil bacterium Frankia are correct except that Frankia: - Can induce root nodules in many plant species
- Cannot fix nitrogen in free living state
- Cannot fix specialized vesicles in which the nitrogenase is protected from oxygen by a chemical barrier involving triterpene hapanoids.
- Like Rhizobium, it usually infects its host plant through root hair deformation and stimulates cell proliferation in the host’s cortex.
