Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | High |
| Explanation of confidence level | My confidence is high because all controls worked as expected. The positive control showed bands for both arthropod COI and Wolbachia 16S, the negative control showed no contamination, and my sample showed a clear arthropod band with no Wolbachia band. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Hymenoptera was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
