Abstract

Hydrocarbons were extracted from cuticle of healthy Japanese beetle larvae and larvae infected with the milky disease organism, Bacillus popilliae. The extractable hydrocarbons were separated from other lipids by silicic acid column chromatography and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. The major cuticular hydrocarbons are n- tricosane , 11-methyltricosane, and 9,13-dimethyltricosane. Only minor quantitative differences were observed in the major hydrocarbons from cuticle of healthy and diseased larvae.
