Mechanism edit
Makes no sense. I'll clean it up and do what I can to translate to a high-school level but an expert needs to break it down into simpler terms.

Untitled edit
It is stated in the article that the entire cholera toxin unit (entire CTX unit) enters the cell. I do not believe this to be true as the B units remain in the membrane. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.239.7.1 (talk) 16:27, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
what figure? edit
The article says (my italics)
- The five B subunits—each weighing 12 kDa, and all coloured blue in the accompanying figure
is it me, or is there no figure?

Phage responsible for development of CTX? edit
Read this and tell us what you think of it. it is an entertaining article..
Summary: CTX phage incorporates gene into the original V. Cholerae bacterium, enabling the bacterium with a tool to gain an evolutionairy advantage, by the mechanism of spread. The gene responsible for one of the subunits of the CTX toxin is in fact a gene from this phage. In fact we can ask ourselves whether not more or many mechanisms of evolution of toxins have been caused by phages, as there are many analogies e.g. in E. coli with the shiga-like toxins, which also has a gene in common with phages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.151.136.111 (talk) 18:37, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
