Figure 2. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiles of PCR-amplified bacterial gene fragments derived from field-collected individual female Lu. longipalpis.
Lanes L1 to L10 corresponds to DGGE profiles of Lu. longipalpis collected from Lapinha cave-Minas Gerais; A1 to A5 correspond to DGGE profiles of Lu. longipalpis collected from Alagoas state/Brazil. Lanes labelled S correspond to standard DGGE markers prepared from a selection of bacterial 16S rRNA gene products to enable gel to gel comparison.
