Abstract:
Summary Total genomic DNAs ofFrankia isolates were subjected to restriction enzyme digestion and subsequent agarose gel electrophoresis. Restriction fragment banding patterns were unique for each isolate and may therefore be used as a method to distinguish between isolates which may be morphologically indistinguishable. This method might be useful for practical purposes such as tracing specificFrankia strains during field studies.
