Propionic acid promotes larval survival
Propionic acid promotes larval survival (in low-nutrient food i.e. low yeast). Propionic acid is detected by Laravel chemoreceptors Or30a and Or94b. This propionic acid activity works on Dmel, but not on D. suzukii. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5660182/#:~:text=Propionic%20acid%20in%20the%20culture,medium%20(6.5%25%20yeast).
