Although bacteriophages are more numerous and have smaller genomes than their bacterial hosts, relatively few have their genomes sequenced. Here, we isolated the Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteriophage from Napahai plateau wetland and performed de novo genome sequencing. Based on the previous biological characteristics and bioinformatics analysis, it was determined that VW-6B was a linear double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) phage with 35,306 bp, with 56.

Inspired by cocktail therapy, the combination of 465 nm blue LED irradiation and two multi-target anticancer agents AT406 and Rocaglamide has been investigated as an innovative way to treat colorectal cancer cells in vitro. It showed a strong inhibitory effect on colorectal cancer cells, and its side effects on human normal cells are negligible.
