Using high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection, whole body extracts of the bulb mite, Rhizoglyphus echinopus (Fumouze and Robin), were found to contain the biogenic amines dopamine and octopamine at concentrations of 4.3 +/- 0.6 and 2.3 +/- 1.4 ng g-1 wet weight, respectively. Adrenaline, noradrenaline, tyramine, N-methyldopamine, N-acetyldopamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine, if present, were below the limits of detectability. This is the initial demonstration of the presence of octopamine in a mite species.
使用高效液相色谱-电化学检测法，发现球根螨（Rhizoglyphus echinopus (Fumouze and Robin)）的全身提取物中含有生物胺多巴胺和章鱼胺，其浓度分别为4.3±0.6和2.3±1.4纳克/克湿重。肾上腺素、去甲肾上腺素、酪胺、N-甲基多巴胺、N-乙酰多巴胺和5-羟色胺（若存在）低于可检测限。这是首次证明螨类物种中存在章鱼胺。
