title: Screening of symbiotic frankiae for host specificity by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.
abstract: Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of numerous Frankia strains, using a nifDH probe, separated the strains into three distinct groups based on hybridization patterns. The groups identified in this study were well correlated with host specificity groups identified in earlier cross-inoculation studies.
