Abstract
Diversity of Frankia isolates originating from lobes of single nodules collected on Alnus glutinosa root systems has been analyzed using isozyme electrophoresis method. Analysis of isozyme patterns showed no divergence among strains isolated from the same nodule. Each nodule (among 10 assayed) was inhabited by a single Frankia strain.
