Alpha Amylase: Based off the sequencing results from the latest round of colony PCR of alpha amylase, it looks like colony 3 contained a mutated PstI restriction site. From the streak plate and overnight was started. (JB)

Alpha Amylase: Performed a plasmid prep of the colony 3 mutant following the SpinSmart High-copy plasmid purification. I took the prep and measured the plasmid concentration by nano drop and it only read around 20 ng/uL. This is definitely too low to get any sequencing from. I started a new overnight from the colony 3 plate streak. (JB)

4 September 2014

Alpha Amylase: Performed a plasmid prep of the colony 3 mutant again. This time I got a much larger pellet of cells from the overnight. The concentration was around 60 ng/uL however. Not sure why I have been getting such low plasmid concentrations lately. (JB)
