16SrRNA genes amplicons of Caterpillars (Ocnogyna loewii): gregarious, grazing
Caterpillar, soil and cattle feces DNA samples were PCR amplified using primers targeting the V4 variable region of the bacterial 16SrRNA gene (Caporaso et al. 2012). MiSeq sequencing was performed at the DNA Services (DNAS) Facility – University of Illinois, Chicago (UIC). The sequencing protocol is described in Aizenberg-Gershtein et al. (2015).
