- Observation The isolates did not form root nodules on Alnus glutinosa.
- Observation The isolates deformed Alnus root hairs.
- Observation The isolates had bright red colonies, hyphae and sporangia, but lacked nitrogen-fixing vesicles and in vitro fixation.
- Observation Comparative 16S rRNA analysis found CN4 T closest to Frankia saprophytica CN 3 T.
- Observation Multilocus phylogeny assigned CN4 T to cluster 4 non-nodulating species.
