Notes:
Abstract Spores of Frankia strain ACN1AG, immobilized in calcium alginate beads, germinated to produce colonies that increased in protein content and showed nitrogenase activity. Air dried immobilized spores remained viable for at least 15 days in dry condition, making the storage and transport of Frankia strains easy. This also opens the possibility of using beaded spores as inocula.
