Frankia bacteria live within specialized structures called vesicles or nodules on the plant's roots, and in return for the nutrients they provide, the plant provides the bacteria with carbohydrates produced during photosynthesis. This mutualistic relationship is known as symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
