Gel 32: M55-M60 (pSB1A2+pZntA) double digestion with EcoRI/PstI, and single digestion with EcoRI. (30.07.08: Yan)
Gel 33: M68-71 (pSB1A2+glgC-mut1,2) digested with EcoRI/PstI, M72-75 (pSB1A2+rbs+dxs) digested with EcoRI, M76-79 (BABEL2+crtE) digested with EcoRI/PstI. (01.08.2008: AM)

Gel 35: P36 (glgC-mut1,2) and L25 (pSB1A2+glgC-mut1,2). P36 successful, L25 yields clear glgC-length band but faint vector-length band. (01.08.2008: AM)
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 37: Double digestion of M97-M104 (pSB1A2+cenA) and M105-M108 (pSB1A2+cex) with EcoRI/PstI. Results were very poor apart from M97. (05.08.08: Yan)

(06.08.08: Yan) Gel 39: Analytical digests using a) EcoRI, b) EcoRI/PstI of M70-M71 (pSB1A2+glgC-mut1,2) and M92 (pSB1A2+cex). Results do not look good. Bands are wrong size to correspond to vector and no bands match an expected insert size. (06.08.08: CF)
Gel 40 PCR products of PcstA (P54) (and SOB). Results look promising (fairly prominent band <500bp). (07.08.08: CF)
Gel 41: PCR products of P55-P58 (cenA and cex): cex with KOD polymerase (P57) generated a single band of the desired size. However, cex with Velocity polymerase and cenA with both KOD or Velocity polymerase failed. (11.08.08: Yan)
Gel 42: PCR products P61-P63 (rrnB, cenA, cex): Very clear band for rrnB, no bands for either cenA or cex. (11.08.08: CF)
Gel 43: Double digests of BABEL2+crtE (M79) and Edinbrick1 with EcoRI/PstI, showing a single band at ~3kb for BABEL2+crtE digestion and bands at ~2.5kb and 800bp for Edinbrick1 digestion. (11.08.08: AH)
Gel 44: Double digests of M109-M112 (pSB1A2+crtB+crtI), M113-M116 (pSB1A2+glgC-mut1,2) and M117-M120 (pSB1A2+glgC-mut1,2,3). M110-M112 (pSB1A2+crtB+crtI) have a band at 2.5kb as expected. M109 (pSB1A2+crtB+crtI) gave a band at 3kb instead, so should be ignored from now on.(11.08.08: Yan)
Gel 45: P57 (cex from cells) EcoRI/PstI double digest, undigested P64 (cex from genomic DNA), P66 (zm1/ISA1) and P67 (zm2/ISA2). (12.08.08: CF/AM)

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 52: P70 (glgC mut1+2), P71 (glgC mut 1+2+3). (14.08.2008: AM)
Gel 53: Minipreps of M139 to M143 (CrtE+PSB1A2) (15.08.08: YAN/OG)
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)
