  abstract = {{F}rankia is a soil actinomycete that forms nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses with eight angiosperms families including {C}asuarinaceae. {K}nowledge on symbiotic performance of several isolated strains with {C}asuarina species is limited. {I}n this study, we characterized a collection of {F}rankia strains based on their growth kinetics and their symbiotic ability with {C}asuarina glauca specie. {R}esults showed that {F}rankia strains {A}llo2, {C}c{I}3, {C}e{D} and {C}g70.9 do not exhibit the same symbiotic ability both for their infectivity and effectiveness towards {C}asuarina glauca. {A}ll strains were able to infect and improve {C}. glauca plants growth. {F}rankia isolate {C}c{I}3 better improved plants height while {C}e{D} and {C}g70.9 strains formed more nodules on inoculated plants roots. {H}owever, there is no correlation between the number of nodules formed and the effectiveness of strains. {T}hese preliminary results give ideas on which {F}rankia strains to use for obtaining an efficient symbiosis with {C}. glauca. {H}owever, others plant species and growth conditions should be tested for a longer period to better optimize the use of {F}rankia in reforestation programs.},
