| Protocol notes | DNA Extraction: The arthropod was pretty easy to grind up, though removing reproductive organs was a challenge as the arthropod was hollow. No errors were made Gel Electrophoresis Arthropod CO1: slight error with pipetting, but no harm was made to the experiment. Arthropod line showed up Gel Electrophoresis Wolbachia : Lane 1 (DNA ladder), lane 2 (B1), lane 3 (B2), lane 4 (B3), lane five (B4) lane 6 (WOL+), lane 7 (WOL -), lane 8 (water) The controls were successful |
Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | High |
| Explanation of confidence level | The procedure was followed very closely and there was not even a faint line present, the gel was completely Wolbachia-negative. |
