Methods |
|
| Extraction kit | Edwards Buffer |
| DNA extraction location | Whole arthropod |
| Single or Duplex PCR | |
| Gel electrophoresis system | MiniOne |
| Buffer | TBE |
| DNA stain | GelGreen |
| Gel images |
|
| Protocol notes | DNA extraction didn’t squeeze bug enough pipetted tiny tubes wrong not enough supernatant the pellet was very small but visible
|
Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | Yes |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | They may have been a switch between the Wolbachia DNA and the negative arthropod control in the Wolbachia band the negative arthropod control should not have a band. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Hymenoptera was found to be postive for Wolbachia. |
