Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | Yes |
| Confidence level | Low |
| Explanation of confidence level | Faint Band but Wolbachia DNA didn’t work and water had a faint band Arthropod gel: Arthropod controls didn’t work. Water shouldn’t have a band. Wolbachia gel: Wolbachia DNA didn’t work. Primer dimers found |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Isopoda was found to be postive for Wolbachia. |
