The bacterium ____ belonging to group Actinomycetes produces N2 -fixing nodules on the roots of non-leguminous plants(e.g. Alnus).
Frankia is a Gram-positive species of actinomycete filamentous bacterium that lives in symbiosis with actinorhizal plants of the genus Alnus. It is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium and forms nodules on the roots of non-leguminous trees.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Frankia.'
