The formation of toxic fermentation inhibitors such as furfural and 5-hydroxy-2-methylfurfural (HMF) during acid (pre-)treatment of lignocellulose, calls for the efficient removal of these compounds. Lignocellulosic hydrolysates can be efficiently detoxified biologically with microorganisms that specifically metabolize the fermentation inhibitors

The furans, furfural and methylfurfural, are dietary mutagens that are present in various food products and beverages. AT base-pair-depleted calf thymus DNA was prepared by the action of pea seed single-strand-specific nuclease on native DNA. Compared with furan-treated native DNA
