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 56.76% G+C content and 197 bp tandem repeats. The VW-6B genome contained 46 open-reading frames (ORFs), and no tRNA genes were found. Based on phage genome structure, sequence comparison, and collinear analysis, VW-6B should be classified into the family Siphoviridae and be considered as a member of a new species in the Mu-like phage. The newly isolated bacteriophage can specifically infect P. fluorescens, which further enriches the diversity of known bacteriophages and provides a basis for the subsequent research and application of bacteriophages.
