| Putative identification | Arthropoda Malacostraca Isopoda Armadillidae Armadillidium Armadillidium vulgare |
Methods |
|
| Extraction kit | Thermoscientific GeneJet Genomic Purification |
| DNA extraction location | Whole arthropod |
| Single or Duplex PCR | Duplex Reaction |
| Gel electrophoresis system | Edvotek Gel Electrophoresis |
| Buffer | TAE |
| DNA stain | SYBR Safe |
| Gel images |
|
| Protocol notes | During DNA extraction when the AW 1 and AW 2 buffers were added the solution turned pink |
Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | I think our procedure went well but the pink during DNA extraction may have cause a problem with our results |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Armadillidium vulgare was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
