title: Improvement in the lipid extraction of staphylococcal cells by lysostaphin treatment.
abstract: A new method for extracting lipids from Staphylococcus aureus is described in this paper. The extracts of cells treated with lysostaphin are compared with those from untreated cells. The recovery of lipids improved with the enzymatic treatment. Tentative identification of the components of the lipid extracts has been carried out.
