![]() ![]() These experiments also showed that the microbes enhance host fitness under standard and also stressful conditions (e.g., high temperature and either low or high osmolarity). Exposure to a derived experimental microbiome revealed that bacterial composition is influenced by host developmental stage and genotype. elegans microbiome is distinct from that of the worm’s natural environment and the congeneric species C. Nematodes sampled directly from their native habitats carry a species-rich bacterial community, dominated by Proteobacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae and members of the genera Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Ochrobactrum, and Sphingomonas. elegans and assess its influence on nematode life history characteristics. Here, we characterize for the first time the native microbiome of C. Instead, almost all laboratories exclusively use the canonical strain N2 and derived mutants, maintained through routine bleach sterilization in monoxenic cultures with an E. Yet, none of the current research on the central model species Caenorhabditis elegans considers the worm’s natural microbiome. “It’s proved to be a bit like a lightning rod for audiences, sparking a great deal of animated conversation and releasing a lot of emotions in people, whatever side they’re on,” said Meurer.Host-microbe associations underlie many key processes of host development, immunity, and life history. The local press has told readers to brace itself for an influx of German tourists. “I think we’re going to have a lot of people coming over to Cromer now as a result,” Olly Day, a local entertainer, said. German audiences have been offered the chance to win tickets and holiday packages to next summer’s end-of-pier show. The German broadcaster ZDF, which visited Cromer to report on Seaside Special, said the film showed “what happens when complex issues and British stubbornness collide”. ![]() German media has said that just like the pier show it features, the film offers a “safe place of refuge from Britain’s political and societal fragmentation”. “Secondly when I knew this would be a film that would make people laugh, it became this topic of amusement that it would be a German of all people who’d manage that.” “Firstly they told me they don’t usually get Londoners here taking an interest in them, let alone Berliners,” said Meurer. The film is dedicated to Eastwood, who died in an accident before its release.Ĭromer’s residents – two-thirds of whom had voted for Brexit in the 2016 referendum – were surprised when the German film-maker turned up. “Whatever happens … the British people will just bloody get on with it … They say that if you voted to leave it’s going to be terrible because you won’t get lettuce any more … I mean the wine thing I worry about, but lettuce? I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a lettuce, who cares?” ![]() In the film he ruminates about the outcome of Brexit. Paul Eastwood, an erstwhile standup comic at Ukip events, holds the show together as its quick-witted compere.Ĭomedian Paul Eastwood and dancer Emily Hardy in action. However, it transpires that not only did the sisters not vote (“we’re too anarchistic for that”) but their van is missing its engine and the sisters their driving licences. In one sketch from the show, the sisters Polly and Sophie Duniam – former child TV stars and long-time vocal backing singers for the Pet Shop Boys – say they want to express their outrage at Brexit by driving their camper van through Europe on a “never-ending fuck Brexit tour”. They respect him even if they don’t share his views.” He helps them understand how you can be pro-European but anti-EU. German audiences who had struggled to understand the motivation behind Brexit warmed to Lee, said Meurer. Off stage, John Lee, an eighth-generation crab fisher who voted for Brexit, explains to Meurer from his fishing boat: “They put the word ‘great’ in front of Britain for a reason.” Once the uncertainty is overcome “then we’ll prosper”. Shot on 16mm film, lending it a grainy, elegiac charm, Seaside Special juxtaposes the trials and tribulations of the lives of the performers and residents on stage and off with the differing political views of the wider community. “It was a great relief to discover that despite such politically charged times, Britain having slammed the door on the EU so loudly, a quintessential Britain that we love that is decent and funny, eccentric and compassionate, still exists,” he said. The film’s director, Jens Meurer, said that in Cromer he had discovered a “very filmic microcosm” of Brexit Britain.
