Root Nodule Bacteria and Nonlegumes

Root Nodule Bacteria and Nonlegumes - There are about 10 genera of nonlegumes which form root nodules.
These are as follows:
Coriaria (Coriariaceae), Myrica (Myricaceae), Alnus (Betulaceae), Casuarina (Casuarinaceae), Hippophae, Shepherdia and Eleagnus (Eleagnaceae), Ceanothus and Discaria (Rhamnaceae), and Trema (Ulmaceae).

The microbes in nodules are interpreted as actinomycetes on morphological grounds. The microbe in nodule of Trema aspera is shown to be Rhizobium species.
