Two rapid methods were evaluated for their extraction of plasmids from Clostridium perfringens. The first method involved lysis of 1 to 2 ml of C. perfringens culture by treatment with hyaluronidase, lysozyme, and sarcosyl. DNA, extracted with phenol-chloroform, was treated

1. Up to 90 per cent of the membrane proteins from Spiroplasma citri could be solubilized with the anionic detergent Sarkosyl (sodium lauroyl-sarcosinate). Maximal solubilization was obtained with 6 to 20 mumoles of of detergent per mg of membrane protein.

To develop formulations for transdermal drug delivery, this study tested the hypothesis that the anionic surfactant, N-lauroylsarcosine (NLS), and ethanol synergistically increase skin permeability by increasing the fluidity of stratum corneum lipid structure. Skin permeability experiments showed that transdermal delivery
