Methods |
|
| Extraction kit | Instagene Matrix |
| DNA extraction location | Whole arthropod |
| Single or Duplex PCR | Single Reaction |

Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | Yes |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | The tiger beetle’s DNA did not show up during the electrophoresis test, but the test proved that the tiger beetle was wolbachia infested. Because the tiger beetle DNA did not register during the test I am not extremely confident in the accuracy of these results. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Coleoptera was found to be postive for Wolbachia. |
