Check overnight growth
Good!

I checked overnight growth of nine 10ml bottles with kanamycin and selected colonies.
 * 1) 4 bottles based on pUA66katE#A1#2, a verified colony that contains the katE insert
 * 2) 3 bottles from separate plates with colonies containing SAP treated vectors that have been ligased
 * 3) 2 bottle with a standard ligase

My question was - whether the SAP treatment ensured the presence of my insert given that the colonies grew?

I proceeded using 2 bottles of pUA66katE#A1#2 for miniprep, I kept one to preform assay and the last bottle was centrifuged and the cell pellets frozen. For the SAP treated vectors, 2 were used for miniprep. For the standard ligation 1 bottle was used for miniprep. All remaining bottles were centrifuged and the cell pellets frozen at -20ºC.

Glycerol stock
I decided to do a miniprep on 4 of 8 bottles:
 * 1) pAU66katE#A1#2-1 (known to contain the insert)
 * 2) pAU66katE#A1#2-2 (known to contain the insert)
 * 3) pUA66katE#A1, SAP
 * 4) pUA66katE#B1, SAP
 * 5) pUA66katE#2, Normal Ligase

In order to preserve any sample that screened positive for the insert, I prepared glycerol stock.

For each of the 5 samples:
 * 1) 700µl bacteria sample
 * 2) 300µl of 50% Glycerol
 * 3) Place in -80ºC freezer
