Gotcha, thanks! We do SPRI cleanups at different ratios to size select, but maybe this will assist even more.

Is there a specific benefit to doing the SPRI cleanup with LFB instead of ethanol?

This is first paper from a new line of research in my lab, with more to come soon. If interested in PDPs I highly recommend this @baym.lol paper www.nature.com/articles/s41... and this classic from Matti Jalasvuori royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
Diverse and abundant phages exploit conjugative plasmids - Nature Communications
Some phages use plasmid-encoded conjugation proteins as receptors to infect their bacterial hosts, making their host range dependent on horizontal transfer of the plasmid. Here, the authors present a method for identification of new plasmid-dependent phages, and find that they are common and abundant in wastewater and their genetic diversity is largely unexplored.
