Abstract
An actinomycete (Dc2) was isolated from the nitrogen fixing root nodul es of Datisca cannabina. The actinomycete formed hyphae and sporangia, like typical Frankia strains but failed to infect host plants. This n oninfective isolate was confirmed as Frankia by sequence analysis of 1 6S rRNA gene, amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
