An annular-shaped, expansion type clamping band has laterally overlapping ends, each having a skewed surface, the skewed surfaces slidably engaging one another. The ends are further provided with elongated guide slots for receiving a threaded bolt. A threaded nut threadly engaging the bolt, when tightened, moves the overlapping ends toward a longitudinal central axis of the band whereby the band expands to exert an outward radial force against an interior surface of a gasket to provide a liquid-tight fit between the gasket and an opening having a surface engaging an outer periphery of the gasket. The band may be a one-piece or two-or-three-piece assembly and may be formed of an suitable metallic or plastic material. The threaded member is slidable along the aforesaid guide slots enabling the bolts to be self-centered. The nut and bolt assembly, in one embodiment is designed to require only one tightening tool.

A composition as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that the microorganisms are selected from those of the Rhizobium or Bradyrhizobium genus. 3. A composition as set forth in claim 2, characterized in that the microorganisms are a strain selected from the group formed by Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Rhizobium meliloti, Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii, Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae and Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli. 4. A composition as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that said molybdenum compound is selected from alkali metal molybdates in a concentration ranging from 0.01 to 2.0% weight/weight of the composition. 5. A composition as set forth in claim 4, characterized in that said molybdenum compound is a potassium molybdate. 6. A composition as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that the polymer is selected from polyvinyl pirrolidone, alkylated vinyl pirrolidone polymers, vinyl pirrolidone and vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl pirrolidone and styrene copolymers, in a concentration of about 0.2 and 5.0% weight/weight of the composition. 7. An aqueous-based inoculant composition as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that it comprises a strain of B. japonicum in an amount effective to promote nitrogen fixation in plants that will grow from soybean seeds, 0.01 to 2.0% weight/weight of potassium molybdate, 0.2 to 5.0% weight/weight of polyvinyl pirrolidone and suitable excipients. 8.
