There has been a somewhat related discussion in the lab the other day.
If some colonies might express well and other not so well, why don't I
just scoop up loads and start my culture from them? This way I'll be
more certain to get the clones that express.

The clones that don't express will dilute the yield, but I doubt they'd
outcompete the rest, would they? For me, the start-with-plenty
procedure has always worked well, but some insist on starting from
single colonies.
