cholera bacillus -->
Vibrio cholerae
<bacteria> Bacterium that causes cholera, the life threatening aspects of which are caused by the exotoxin (see cholera toxin).

Short, slightly curved rods, highly motile (single polar flagellum), gram-negative. Adhere to intestinal epithelium (adhesion mechanism unknown) and produce enzymes (neuraminidase, proteases) that facilitate access of the bacterium to the epithelial surface.


Halibut (recipes)


By far the largest of all flatfish, halibut is available mostly in steaks, fillets and cutlets. Its firm, meaty white flesh has a delicious flavour but, as it can dry out quite easily, it needs careful Cooking and is probably best prepared with plenty of liquid, such as melted butter or olive oil for basting, and served with a sauce. Allow a 200g fillet or steak per person. If you can' t find halibut then turbot is a suitable substitute. Cook until the flesh has turned opaque and is just starting to flake.You can read more about flatfish in our Back to basics feature.Baked halibut fillet with watercress crème fraîche sauceSeared halibut with sauce vierge, rice and mango salsa
