| Protocol notes | My pellet was brown and chunky, this could show that I didn’t grind my pellet enough. My supernatant was light clear brown. |
Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | Yes |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | My line was strong for wolbachia, but my role-poly’s DNA wasn’t tested for being an arthropod. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Isopoda was found to be postive for Wolbachia. |
