Sample information

This ant was caught in a backyard. It took a while because I was trying to not destroy the arthropod. In addition, under the when microscope, the ant was a dark brown color and its legs were weirdly bent.

Methods

During my experiment, much of the lysis buffer spilled out onto the sides. In addition, the pellet was disturbed twice. The first time, I did the correct procedure and repeated the required steps. The second time, due to management, I was not able to and continued the experiment. My pellet was barely visible to the human eye and could only be seen when held up to the light.

Results

My confidence was medium because there was clearly a Wolbachia band, but due to my inexperience, there is no way to be sure about this.
