Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an industrially important chemical which is a starting material in the production of plenty of platform chemicals. In this study, a complete biotransformation of HMF was achieved using a novel isolate, Acinetobacter oleivorans S27. This strain could tolerate up to 3000 mg/L of HMF concentration and convert to other furan derivatives. The conversion products includes high-value chemicals like 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA), a known interleukin inhibitor and 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), an alternate of terephthalic acid in polyester industries. The biotransformation efficiency was found to be 100%, as there is complete conversion of HMF to other chemicals. Most importantly, it is an environmental friendly process for the production of furan derivatives.
羟甲基糠醛(HMF)是一种具有工业重要性的化学品,是许多平台化学品生产的起始原料。在本研究中,一种新型分离物不动杆菌 oleivorans S27 实现了 HMF 的完全生物转化。该菌株能够耐受高达 3000mg/L 的 HMF 浓度,并转化为其他呋喃衍生物。转化产物包括高价值化学品,如 5-羟甲基-2-糠酸(HMFCA),一种已知的白细胞介素抑制剂和 2,5-呋喃二甲酸(FDCA),聚酯工业中对苯二甲酸的替代品。生物转化效率被发现为 100%,因为 HMF 完全转化为其他化学品。最重要的是,这是一种生产呋喃衍生物的环保工艺。
