Question

All of the following statements concerning the Actinomycetes filamentous soil bacterium Fmnkia are correct except that Frankia. (A) Can induce root nodules of many plant species (B) Can fix nitrogen in the free living state (C) Cannot fix specialised vesicles in which the nitogenase is protected from oxygen by a chemical barrier involving triterpene hapanoids (D) Like Rhizobium it usually infects its hort plant through root air deformation and stimulates cell proliferation in the hort cortex

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Frankia, is a nitrogen fixing symbiotic bacteria which induces root nodules just like Rhizobium. It is symbiotically amaciated with root nodules of several non-legume plants like casucrina, Alkus, Rubus etc. It cant fix nitrogen in free-state.
