Isolation and Characterization of a Frankia Strain from Casuarina glauca / 微生物学通报

A strain FCg77 was isolated from root nodule of Casuarina glauca by the squashing. The biological characteristics experiments demonstrated that the optimum culture medium was BAP, and the optimum carbon and nitrogen sources were tween-80 and beef. Strain FCg77 could endure 5% salinity. The strain was divided into physiological group AB, and the cell wall chemical composition was type III strain. And combined with the results of back inoculation tests, the strain of FCg77 was preliminary identified as a member of Frankia.
