Abstract
Surface and internal lipidic compounds from the springtail Tetrodontophora bielanensis (WAGA) were investigated. Using chromatographic and spectroscopic methods the following compounds were detected: n-alkanes (C15 - C35), lycopane (C40H82), olefin C40H80, seven groups of esters (including sterol esters), secondary alcohol C40H82O, triacyl glycerols, free saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (C12 - C22) and free sterols (cholesterol and desmosterol).
