Colony re-streak

In order to verify that our red colonies are indeed carrying pEX and not pSB1K3 (i.e. the Amp selection has failed), resulting in false-positives for transfer of RFP from pSB1K3 to pEX, clones 2, 3, 5 and 6 were streaked on quarters of Amp 100 and Km 50 plates. Plates incubated 48 h in 37 °C.
If RFP has been successfully transfered to pEX, the clones should only grow on Amp 100 plates.
