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.
M25 to M30: possible rbs+dxs transformants.
M31 to M36: crtB clones.
M37 to M42: crtI clones.
M43 to M47: possible glgC double mutants (both EcoRI sites gone)
M48: a possible rbs+dxs clone.
M49 to M54: pSB1A2-rbs+crtI
M55 to M60: PZntA promoter
M61 to M66: BABEL2+rbs+crtE
M67: rbs+crtB
M68 to M71: pSB1A2+glgC-mut1,2 (31.07.08: AM, YAN)
M72 to M75: pSB1A2+rbs+dxs (31.07.08: AM, YAN)
M76 to M79: BABEL2+crtE (31.07.08: AM, YAN)
M80 to M83: pSB1A2+rbs+appY (04/08/08: YAN and OG)
