Inactivation of Streptomyces phage ɸC31 by 405 nm light: Requirement for exogenous photosensitizers?

Exposure to narrowband violet-blue light around 405 nm wavelength can induce lethal oxidative damage to bacteria and fungi, however effects on viruses are unknown. As photosensitive porphyrin molecules are involved in the microbicidal inactivation mechanism, and since porphyrins are absent in viruse...
