Sammanfattning
Frankia strains grew more and had greater nodulation capacities after air-desiccation when exposed to sugar osmotica prior to dying. Exposure to 200 mm sucrose, maltose or melibiose resulted in an increase in the cellular concentration of the disaccharide trehalose. The cellular trehalose concentration of Frankia strain HFPArI3 from Alnus rubra was positively, linearly correlated with its growth after air-desiccation, suggesting that trehalose production is associated with desiccation tolerance in Frankia.
