despite the faint band we received decent sequences

Results
Wolbachia presence No

Explanation of confidence level

we’ve run the analysis twice;
within the same PCR run other groups found Wolbachia within ther samples

BLAST of the consensus sequence resultet in 12 hits with > 98.6% identity for Protapian apricans
