To purify this protein from cell lysate, we used the New England Biolabs Chitin Magnetic Beads protein purification kit, which isolates proteins that bind to chitin-coated magnetic beads. The following gel image shows that BBa_K1499401 (nicknamed C2) was successfully purified with the chitin magnetic beads, suggesting that it exhibits chitin-binding activity. Pending cellulose-binding and waterproofing assays, C2 is a candidate for waterproofing both fungal mycelium and bacterial cellulose.

Figure 1. C1 (BBa_K1499400) and C2 (BBa_K1499401) after chitin magnetic bead purification. C2 was successfully purified with chitin magnetic beads, suggesting that this protein has functional chitin-binding domains as predicted by PSI-BLAST.
