Summary of phage selection conditions

Selection round	Input phagea (pfu)	Recovered phageb (pfu)	Binding time (min)	Number of washes
1	4 × 1010	4.3 × 107	90	2
2	2 × 1011	9.1 × 107	90	5
3	2 × 1011	4.3 × 107	30	10
4	2 × 1011	4.4 × 106	15	10
5	2 × 1011	3.7 × 107	15	10

^{a, b}Phage counts are given in plaque-forming units (pfu). For the first round, 0.1% TBST was used as the washing buffer. For the second through fifth round, 0.5% TBST was used
