Agarose gel electrophoresis of PCR amplification products obtained from Phereoeca sp. larval samples.
(a) Amplification of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene used for DNA barcoding. (b) Amplification of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene (V3-V4 region) used for microbiome analysis. Sample codes correspond to specimens collected from three localities: Nilai (1A-3A), Benut (1B–3B), and Bangi (1C-3C).
