Frankia alni : ウィキペディア英語版 | Frankia alni
''Frankia alni'' is a species of actinomycete filamentous bacterium that lives in symbiosis with actinorhizal plants in the genus ''Alnus''. It is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium and forms nodules on the roots of alder trees. ==Distribution== ''Frankia alni'' forms a symbiotic relationship exclusively with trees in the genus ''Alnus''. These are widely distributed in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. One species, ''Alnus glutinosa'', is also found in Africa and another, the Andean alder, ''Alnus acuminata'', extends down the mountainous spine of Central and South America as far as Argentina. Evidence suggests that this alder may have been exploited by the Incas and used to increase soil fertility and stabilize terrace soils in their upland farming systems. ''Alnus'' species grow in a wide range of habitats that include glacial till, sand hills, the banks of water courses, bogs, dry volcanic lava flows and ash alluvium.〔Schwencke, J., and M. Caru. 2001.
