What about replica plating or picking the intial positives from SDC -W -L
-H +AT onto SDC -H or SDC -H+3AT. The first plating should have
elminated simple HIS+ guys and thus subsequent expression of the HIS+
should all require the presence of the 2 plasmids so a selection for HIS
protorophy should be sufficient.
The other thing is to make sure plates are not drying out. Five days is
a long time and plates yeast simply quits growing when plates get too dry.
Hope this helps
