Minipreps

M1 to M6: pSB1A2+dxs transformants. *M2, M3, M4 and M6* all looked correct on a gel. *M2* was sequenced to confirm identity and was maxiprepped as *X2*.
M7: Babel1+glgC transformant. Did not look right on gel.
M8 to M12: Babel2+glgC_ transformants. *M10 and M11* both looked good on a gel, but sequencing showed that both had the insert in the reverse orientation.
M13 to M18: pSB1A2+appY transformants. Gel 10 showed that M15 to M18, and possibly M14, all seemed to have inserts the right size.
M19 to M24: Babel2+glgC clones after mutation of EcoRI site 2. EcoRI digests on *Gel 11* suggest that *M19, M21 and M22* may have lost the EcoRI site.
