We have previously adapted a select number of cell lines to grow in serum-free media supplemented with fly extract. This condition is arguably more representative of a native growth environment. Here, we validated that the fly extract adapted line, S2R+ (FEx 2.5%) is amenable to RNAi. RNAi against in both S2R+ and S2R+ (FEx 2.5%) produced phenotypes similar to ones previously described in S2 cells.

CESAM - Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies, Department of Biology, Campus Universitário de Santiago, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal.

As global populations escalate and the demand for food and feed intensifies, the generation of agri-food waste is becoming an increasingly critical issue. Addressing this challenge is crucial for optimizing food production and advancing sustainable waste management practices. In this context, insects, including the Black Soldier Fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens), present opportunities for circularity through the bioconversion of organic waste.

L-Aspartic Acid with Dual Functions: An Eco-Friendly and Affordable Choice to Accelerate High Salinity Brine Utilization.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Clean Energy Utilization, Institute for Thermal Power Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310058, China.

L-Aspartic acid (L-Asp) poses a dual function, which can affect the evaporation and crystallization process of the high-salinity brine by altering the physical or chemical properties of the salts. MSWI (municipal solid waste incineration) fly ash washing leachate, as a typical high-salinity brine, is utilized here to validate this hypothesis under the simulation guidance. Since L-Asp has stronger adsorption energy on the (110) crystal face of CaCO, L-Asp can facilitate the preferential growth of more valuable vaterite during the softening process (pretreatment before crystallization).
