Application

γ-Caprolactone was used as curing agent for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A with ytterbium triflate as an initiator.

General description

γ-caprolactone (GCL) is well-known as a food flavor and is a biostimulant molecule promoting the growth of bacteria with biocontrol activity against soft-rot pathogens. GCL treatment stimulates growth of the native quorum sensing-degrading bacterial community in an industrial plant hydroponic system for culturing Solanum tuberosum.

Bacteria degrading quorum sensing (QS) signals have been proposed as biocontrol agents able to quench QS-dependent expression of virulence symptoms caused by Pectobacterium on potato plants. We report here that gamma-caprolactone (GCL) treatment stimulated growth of the native QS-degrading bacterial
