Putative identification Arthropoda Insecta Diptera Syrphidae Sphecomyia Sphecomyia vittata

Methods
Extraction kit DNeasy (Qiagen)
DNA extraction location Abdomen
Single or Duplex PCR Single Reaction
Gel electrophoresis system Standard electrophoresis system
Buffer TAE
DNA stain SYBR Safe
Gel images
Protocol notes

The Gel Imaging System was programmed incorrectly, resulting in an image of inappropriately high contrast. This experiment was conducted without controls.

Results
Wolbachia presence Yes
Confidence level High
Explanation of confidence level

Sequencing data and gel electrophoresis results reveal the presence of Wolbachia 16S in the arthropod specimen.
