In this work, we report the preparation of bacterial cellulose (BC)-chitosan composite hydrogel beads by co-dissolution of BC and chitosan in 1-ethyl-3- methylimidazolium acetate and subsequent reconstitution with distilled water. The BC-chitosan hydrogel beads were used as enzyme supports for immobilizing Candida rugosa lipase by physical adsorption and covalent cross-linking. BC-chitosan hydrogel beads immobilized lipase more efficiently than microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)-chitosan hydrogel beads. The amount of protein adsorbed onto BCchitosan beads was 3.9 times higher than that adsorbed onto MCC-chitosan beads, and the catalytic activity of lipase was 1.9 times higher on the BC-chitosan beads. The lipase showed the highest thermal and operational stability when covalently cross-linked on BC-chitosan hydrogel beads. The half-life time of the lipase cross-linked on BCchitosan bead at 60 degree Celsius was 22.7 times higher than that of free lipase. Owing to their inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability, the BC-chitosan composite hydrogel beads described here could be used to immobilize proteins for various biomedical, environmental, and biocatalytic applications.
