The aim of the present study was to develop an eco-friendly biological process for the production of 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from 5-hydroxy methylfurfuraldehyde (HMF) using microorganisms. Microorganisms were isolated from the soil samples and evaluated for its biotransformation efficiency.

ChemSusChem, 11(18), 3323-3334 (2018-07-15)
A highly active and inexpensive Co-Mn mixed-oxide catalyst was prepared and used for selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Co-Mn mixed-oxide catalysts with different Co/Mn molar ratios were prepared through a simple solid-state grinding method-a low-cost

Bioresource technology, 303, 122930-122930 (2020-02-11)
The main aim of this work was to firstly develop a selective oxidation approach for biologically converting 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural into the corresponding furan-based carboxylic acids with recombinant Escherichia coli HMFOMUT. Whole-cells of this recombinant strain harbored good biocatalytic activity
