Verification of presence of lack of <i>rsaA</i> C-terminal insert in pSB1C3 containing <i>esp</i>.  Lane 1: ladder; lane 2: digested PCR of possible insert; lane 3: standard digested <i>esp</i>. The band is faint, but there appears to be a band at the same height as the standard as well as a couple higher bands for leftover plasmids, suggesting that there was no insertion of <i>rsaA</i> C-terminal.

Lane 1: ladder; lanes 2-5: PCR with plasmid primers VF2 and VR; lanes 6-9: PCR with promoter specific forward primer and plasmid reverse primer VR. Bands in lanes 2, 3, and 4 suggests that these colonies at least contained the plasmid, but the apparent size of the band is too small for ''esp'' and ''rsaA'' C-terminal together; rather it is the correct size for just ''rsaA'' C-terminal.
