Tisa1,* Abstract Several Frankia strains have been shown to be lead-resistant. The mechanism of lead resistance was investigated for Frankia sp. strain EAN1pec. Analysis of the cultures by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and Fourier transforming infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) demonstrated that Frankia sp.
