Phenol can be used for a wide variety of molecular biology applications, including nucleic acid extractions using standard phenol-chloroform protocols. Epidermal strips from the abaxial side of leaves of Commelina communis were stirred in phenol in a procedure to separate the monosaccharides from the epidermis.
