Methods |
|
| Extraction kit | |
| DNA extraction location | Partial abdomen |
| Single or Duplex PCR | Single Reaction |
| Gel electrophoresis system | |
| Buffer | TAE |
| DNA stain | Other |

Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | High |
| Explanation of confidence level | 16s rRNA gene of Wolbachia did not show up in Gel Electrophoresis after PCR; as a band of DNA. This shows us that the insect Isoptera that I collected did not contain Wolbachia DNA; thus, the sample is Wolbachia negative. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Isoptera was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
