Disease relevance of TRIDECANONE

Pseudomonas cepacia 4G9 utilizes 2-tridecanone as its sole carbon source and has been shown to be resistant to a variety of antibiotics [1].
The bacteria (tentatively identified as Ralstonia sp.) exhibited strong monooxygenase activity growing on 2-tridecanone as sole source of carbon [2].

High impact information on TRIDECANONE

Heating both stimuli sources to 37 degrees C (body temperature) from 23 degrees C (room temperature) increased vapor concentration by 5.0 and 6.9 times, respectively, for heptyl benzene and 2-tridecanone [3].
Fatty acid elongation in the biosynthesis of (Z)-10-heptadecen-2-one and 2-tridecanone in ejaculatory bulb microsomes of Drosophila buzzatii [4].
Leaf extracts of L. hirsutum f. glabratum accessions that contain significant quantities of 2-tridecanone and/or trans-caryophyllene could be useful for managing populations of spider mites, which could reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides [5].
