Portrait of A. B. Frank
Albert Bernhard Frank (January 17, 1839, Dresden – September 27, 1900, Berlin) was a German botanist and mycologist. He is credited with coining the term mycorrhiza in his 1885 paper "Ueber die auf Wurzelsymbiose beruhende Ernährung gewisser Bäume durch unterirdische Pilze."[1]
The bacterial genus Frankia and family Frankiaceae were named after him.[2]
