Protocol notes
Results
Wolbachia presence	No
Confidence level	Low
Explanation of confidence level	We did not have any distinct bands; a possible cause of this is that we did not get a chance to see the fresh PCR product and had to wait about a day, which could have resulted in diffusion. Another is that there was an error in amplification or set up, resulting in a failure of replication, in which case the bands seen are just the stain, or possibly non-specific DNA products. This organism was the second column from the right.
Wolbachia 16S sequence
Arthropod COI sequence
Summary	The Arthropoda was found to be negative for Wolbachia.
