All of the following statements concerning the Actinomycetous filamentous soil bacterium Frankia are correct EXCEPT that Frankia:
 

1. Forms specialized vesicles in which the nitrogenase is protected from oxygen by a chemical barrier involving triterpene hopanoids
2. Can induce root nodules on many plant species
