Intrageneric differences in the four stereoisomers of stenusine in the rove beetle genus, Stenus (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)Inka Lusebrink
Department of Animal Ecology II, University of Bayreuth, 95440, Bayreuth, Germany
Naturwissenschaften 94:143-7. 2007..These findings can be a basis for chemotaxonomy. It is also possible that the biological function of stenusine, e.g., as antibiotic or fungicide, varies with changing stereoisomer composition...
Stenusine, an antimicrobial agent in the rove beetle genus Stenus (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)Inka Lusebrink
Department of Animal Ecology II, University of Bayreuth, 95440 Bayreuth, Germany
Naturwissenschaften 95:751-5. 2008..Stenusine not only allows for an extraordinary method of locomotion on water surfaces, it also protects the Steninae from being infested with microorganisms...
Biosynthesis of stenusineInka Lusebrink
Department of Animal Ecology II, University of Bayreuth, Germany
J Nat Prod 71:743-5. 2008..bimaculatus beetles with deuterium-labeled amino acids and using GC/MS analysis showed that L-lysine forms the piperidine ring of the stenusine molecule. The side chain originates from L-isoleucine and the N-ethyl group from acetate...
New pyridine alkaloids from rove beetles of the genus Stenus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)Inka Lusebrink
Department of Animal Ecology II, University of Bayreuth, D 95440 Bayreuth, Germany
Z Naturforsch C 64:271-8. 2009..The antimicrobial properties of (Z)- and (E)-3-(2-methyl-1-butenyl)-pyridine and the deterrent activities of stenusine and norstenusine were investigated...
