The percentage of isolated bean roots nodulated and the number of nodules per root were increased by the addition of mesoinositol to the agar medium into which the bases of bean roots were inserted. The following were without marked effect: glycine, thiamine, pyrodoxine, niacin, indoleacetic acid, gibberellic acid, kinetin, adenine, adenosinetriphosphate, biotin, riboflavin, calcium pantothenate, and folic acid.
