Deskripsi

The causative agent of cholera, Vibrio cholerae, is commonly found in aquatic habitats, where it must defend itself against predatory protists such as amoebae. Here, Van der Henst et al. analyze the molecular mechanisms by which V. cholerae thrives within, and ultimately escapes from, aquatic amoebae.
