Abstract

Filamentous bacteria isolated from surface-sterilized nodules of Casuarina equisetifolia trees in Mexico were capable of reducing acetylene, a diagnostic test for nitrogenase, but were unable to nodulate their host. Analysis of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences suggests that the Mexican isolates are not Frankia strains but members of a novel clade.
