[Yeast] Integration in Gap1 locus / D-Histidine selection

Dear yeast users

I am trying to integrate an integrative plasmid into Gap1 locus from 
Saccharomyces cerevisiae. For that propose I am using a non buffered 
minimal media (0.17% YNB w/o Nitrogen, 0.1% proline, 20mg/L uracile 
and 2% glucose) containing 10mM of D-Histine. However, I am getting a 
huge number of colonies in my control plate (yeast transformed 
without plasmid).
Does anyone have an idea how I can decrease this background ? Could 
it be a pH problem, concentration of D-Histidine ?

Many thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Dominique
