Using a crude enzyme solution prepared from astigmatid mites, the conversion reaction to (Z,Z)-6,9-heptadecadiene (6,9-C17) using linoleyl aldehyde (LAld) as a substrate was successful. The mass spectrum of the reaction product using 13C-labeled LAld as a substrate could be assigned as 13C-labeled 6,9-C17. Unlike the findings in other species, the decarbonylase derived from mites did not require a coenzyme.

散光螨中广泛分布的碳氢化合物（Z，Z）-6,9-十七碳二烯的生物合成。

使用由象鼻虫螨制备的粗酶溶液，以亚油基醛（LAld）为底物成功地转化为（Z，Z）-6，9-庚二烯（6，9-C17）。使用13C标记的LAld作为底物的反应产物的质谱可以指定为13C标记的6,9-C17。与其他物种的发现不同，螨虫衍生的脱羰酶不需要辅酶。
