In addition to the samples above, I collected the following samples of isolated symbionts using the NaOH treatment protocol of Zamoum et al. (2012).
Incubation 1:
0.5 hr incubation in 1.5 ml 2M NaOH at ambient temperature (28C). Samples vigorously shaken every ~15 min. Final incubation medium centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 2 min and fixed in 1.5 ml SS-DMSO
Samples:
Past1, Past2, Pdiv1, Pdiv2, Ppor
Incubation 2:
1.5 hr incubation in 1.4 ml 1M NaOH @ 28.5C. Samples shaken vigorously every ~15 min. Final incubation medium centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 2 min and fixed in 1.5 ml SS-DMSO.
Samples (note: these do not necessarily match individuals from previous incubation):
Past1, Past2, Pdiv1, Pdiv2, Ppor
