Dopamine and octopamine in whole body extracts of the bulb mite

Abstract
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.
