Gel 36: P50 (glgC-mut1,2,3) and double digestion of M80-M96 with EcoRI/PstI. Results were good for M80-M82 (pSB1A2+rbs+appY), M84-M85 (pSB1A2+rbs+crtB), M92 (pSB1A2+cex) and P50. Other results were poor. (04.08.08: Yan, OG).

Gel 50: M127~M138? Please confirm. (13.08.2008: OG, I believe, OG: i think this is the one when me andy and yan were loading it and taking pictures for the webpage.)

Gel 51: Undocumented gel stained with SYBR-safe with bands for purification?

Gel 54: P71A (glgC mut 1+2), P72 (glgC mut 1+2+3), P73~P77 (rrnB from _C. fimi_ genomic DNA) (15.08.08: AM)
