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 in a narrow pH range (pH 6.5-7.0), which had high tolerance toward furfural (up to 50 mM) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (up to 150 mM), well-known potential inhibitors against microorganisms. 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid and furoic acid could be obtained at 96.9% and 100% yield from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (150 mM) and furfural (50 mM) at 30 °C and pH 7.0. The improved substrate tolerance of Escherichia coli HMFOMUT is gaining a great interest to synthesize value-added furan-based carboxylic acids, which has potential industrial applications.
本工作的主要目的是首先开发一种选择性氧化方法,利用重组大肠杆菌 HMFOMUT 将 5-羟甲基糠醛和糠醛生物转化为相应的呋喃基羧酸。该重组菌株的全细胞在较窄的 pH 范围(pH 6.5-7.0)内具有良好的生物催化活性,对糠醛(高达 50 mM)和 5-羟甲基糠醛(高达 150 mM)具有高耐受性,这两种物质都是已知的对微生物有潜在抑制作用的物质。在 30°C 和 pH 7.0 下,5-羟甲基-2-呋喃羧酸和呋喃酸可分别从 5-羟甲基糠醛(150 mM)和糠醛(50 mM)中获得 96.9%和 100%的产率。大肠杆菌 HMFOMUT 对底物耐受性的提高对于合成有价值的呋喃基羧酸具有重要意义,具有潜在的工业应用前景。
