Abstract
Selective separation and conversion of furan-based biomass-derived compounds, which are closely related to biorefineries, is currently an important issue. To improve their performance, it is important to deepen the understanding of non-covalent interactions that act on the molecular recognition of furanic compounds on separation or catalyst matrices. Here, a new method is reported to comprehensively visualize such intermolecular interactions using a porous supramolecular crystalline probe with polar and non-polar binding sites within a low-symmetric nanochannel consisting of four isomeric PdII 3-macrocycles. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the crystals including 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, furfuryl alcohol, or 2-acetylfuran reveals a variety of interactions involving their furan rings and polar substituents. It is also found that cooperative and competitive effects between guest and solvent molecules significantly change their recognition mode.

Abstract
Furan-based amines are highly valuable compounds which can be directly obtained via reductive amination from easily accessible furfural, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF). Herein the biocatalytic amination of these carbonyl derivatives is disclosed using amine transaminases (ATAs) and isopropylamine (IPA) as amine donors. Among the different biocatalysts tested, the ones from Chromobacterium violaceum (Cv-TA), Arthrobacter citreus (ArS-TA), and variants from Arthrobacter sp. (ArRmut11-TA) and Vibrio fluvialis (Vf-mut-TA), afforded high levels of product formation (>80 %) at 100-200 mM aldehyde concentration. The transformations were studied in terms of enzyme and IPA loading. The pH influence was found as a key factor and attributed to the imine/aldehyde equilibrium that can arise from the high reactivity of the carbonyl substrates with a nucleophilic amine such as IPA.

Spectrophotometric Assay for the Detection of 2,5-Diformylfuran and Its Validation through Laccase-Mediated Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16861.

Abstract
Modern biocatalysis requires fast, sensitive, and efficient high-throughput screening methods to screen enzyme libraries in order to seek out novel biocatalysts or enhanced variants for the production of chemicals. For instance, the synthesis of bio-based furan compounds like 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) via aerobic oxidation is a crucial process in industrial chemistry. Laccases, known for their mild operating conditions, independence from cofactors, and versatility with various substrates, thanks to the use of chemical mediators, are appealing candidates for catalyzing HMF oxidation. Herein, Schiff-based polymers based on the coupling of DFF and 1,4-phenylenediamine (PPD) have been used in the set-up of a novel colorimetric assay for detecting the presence of DFF in different reaction mixtures. This method may be employed for the fast screening of enzymes (Z' values ranging from 0.68 to 0.72). The sensitivity of the method has been proved, and detection (8.4 μM) and quantification (25.5 μM) limits have been calculated. Notably, the assay displayed selectivity for DFF and enabled the measurement of kinetics in DFF production from HMF using three distinct laccase-mediator systems.

Abstract
Despite the advancements made in improving the quality of plant-based meat substitutes, more work needs to be done to match the texture, appearance, and flavor of real meat. This review aims to cover the sensory quality constraints of plant-based meat analogs and provides fermentation as a sustainable approach to push these boundaries. Plant-based meat analogs have been observed to have weak and soft textural quality, poor mouth feel, an unstable color, and unpleasant and beany flavors in some cases, necessitating the search for efficient novel technologies. A wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, as well as fungi like Fusarium venenatum and Neurospora intermedia, have improved the product texture to mimic fibrous meat structures. Additionally, the chewiness and hardness of the resulting meat analogs have been further improved through the use of Bacillus subtilis. However, excessive fermentation may result in a decrease in the final product's firmness and produce a slimy texture. Similarly, several microbial metabolites can mimic the color and flavor of meat, with some concerns. It appears that fermentation is a promising approach to modulating the sensory profiles of plant-derived meat ingredients without adverse consequences. In addition, the technology of starter cultures can be optimized and introduced as a new strategy to enhance the organoleptic properties of plant-based meat while still meeting the needs of an expanding and sustainable economy.

Abstract
The acylations of furfurylamine and 5-hydroxymethylfurfurylamine (HMFA) have been studied finding immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) as an ideal biocatalyst. CALB was used immobilized on two different supports (Novozyme 435 and EziG-CALB), with the polymer-coated controlled porosity glass carrier material from EnginZyme being an excellent carrier to yield an active and stable enzymatic preparation for the acylation of the primary amine group. The amount of the acyl donor in the reaction was a key factor to achieve the mono- and chemoselective N-protection of HMFA with large excess of ethyl acetate leading to the formation of the N,O-diacetylated product. Thus, a series of 16 nonactivated esters were used to selectively modify the amine group of HMFA, obtaining 9 hydroxy amides under mild reaction conditions and with quantitative yields through chromatography-free transformations. The influence of substrate concentration was studied, resulting in complete conversions in all cases after 22 h (100-1000 mM). Excellent results were observed at 100 and 200 mM of HMFA, while higher concentrations led to longer reaction times and, to some extent, the formation of the diacetylated product (up to 7% after 22 h at 1 M). After this optimization, a metric analysis was performed to confirm the high sustainability of the presented process (E-factor of 1.1 excluding solvents) upon intensification of the biotransformation to 1 g at 200 mM HMFA concentration. The possibility of obtaining orthogonally protected HMFA-derived amido esters has been achieved through a clean and sequential one-pot process using EziG-CALB, which involved the use of ethyl methoxy acetate as the nonactivated ester for N-acylation and the activated vinyl acetate for O-protection.

Abstract
Hydroxymethylfurfural esters (HMF-esters) have great potential for additive development; for this reason, the goal of this work was to study the optimization of the esterification conversion of HFM and lauric acid using two lipases: the Novozym 435® biocatalyst and immobilized lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (TL). For the optimization of conversion, a three-level three-factorial Box–Behnken experimental design was used. The models achieved a good fit (R2 over 90%) for reactions catalyzed with Novozym 435® and immobilized TL lipase. The best conversion, 78.4%, was achieved with immobilized TL lipase using 30 mM HMF, 16 U of biocatalytic activity, and 50 °C. The kinetic parameters without inhibition by the substrate were determined using the Michaelis–Menten mechanism, whereby VMax for both biocatalysts reached the highest values at 50 °C, and the highest enzyme–substrate affinities (low Km) were reached at temperatures of 30 °C and 40 °C. It can be concluded that immobilized TL lipase has the potential to catalyze this reaction since, under optimal reaction conditions, an 80.6% conversion (value predicted) could be achieved.

Abstract
Copper radical oxidases (CROs) from Auxiliary Activity Family 5, Subfamily 2 (AA5_2), are organic cofactor-free biocatalysts for the selective oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes. AA5_2 CROs comprise canonical galactose-6-oxidases as well as the more recently discovered general alcohol oxidases and aryl alcohol oxidases. Guided by primary and tertiary protein structural analyses, we targeted a distinct extended loop in the active site of a Colletotrichum graminicola aryl alcohol oxidase (CgrAAO) to explore its effect on catalysis in the broader context of AA5_2. Deletion of this loop, which is bracketed by a conserved disulfide bridge, significantly reduced the inherent activity of the enzyme toward extended galacto-oligosaccharides, as anticipated from molecular modeling. Unexpectedly, kinetic and product analysis on a range of monosaccharides and disaccharides revealed that an altered carbohydrate specificity in CgrAAO-Δloop was accompanied by a complete change in regiospecificity from C-6 to C-1 oxidation, thereby generating aldonic acids. C-1 regiospecificity is unprecedented in AA5 enzymes and is classically associated with flavin-dependent carbohydrate oxidases of Auxiliary Activity Family 3. Thus, this work further highlights the catalytic adaptability of the unique mononuclear copper radical active site and provides a basis for the design of improved biocatalysts for diverse potential applications.

Rendered-Protein Hydrolysates as a Low-Cost Nitrogen Source for the Fungal Biotransformation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a platform chemical that can be converted into a wide range of high-value derivatives. Industrially, HMF-based derivatives are synthesized via chemical catalysis. However, biocatalytic transformation has emerged as an attractive alternative. Significant advances have been made in the last years using isolated enzymes and whole-cell biocatalysts in HMF biotransformation. Nonetheless, one of the major bottlenecks is the cost of the process, mainly due to the microorganism growth substrate. In this work, biotransformation studies to transform HMF into 2,5-di(hydroxymethyl)furan (DHMF) were carried out with the fungus Fusarium striatum using low-cost protein hydrolysates. The protein hydrolysates were obtained from fines, an unexploited material produced during the rendering process of meat industry waste residues. Given the high content in the protein of fines, of around 46%, protein hydrolysis was optimized using two commercially available proteases, Alcalase 2.4 L and Neutrase 0.8 L. The maximum degree of hydrolysis (DH) achieved with Alcalase 2.4 L was 21.4% under optimal conditions of 5% E/S ratio, pH 8, 55 °C, and 24 h. On the other hand, Neutrase 0.8 L exhibited lower efficiency, and therefore, lower protein recovery. After optimization of the Neutrase 0.8 L process using the response surface methodology (RSM), the maximum DH achieved was 7.2% with the variables set at 15% E/S ratio, initial pH 8, 40 °C, and 10.5 h. Using these hydrolysates as a nitrogen source allowed higher sporulation of the fungus and, therefore, the use of a lower volume of inoculum (three-fold), obtaining a DHMF yield > 90%, 50% higher than the yield obtained when using commercial peptones. The presented process allows the transformation of animal co- and by-products into low-cost nitrogen sources, which greatly impacts the industrial feasibility of HMF biotransformation.

Abstract
5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is produced upon dehydration of C6 sugars in biorefineries. As the product, it remains either in aqueous solutions, or is in situ extracted to an organic medium (biphasic system). For the subsequent oxidation of HMF to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), 'media-agnostic' catalysts that can be efficiently used in different conditions, from aqueous to biphasic, and to organic (microaqueous) media, are of interest. Here, the concept of a one-pot biocatalytic cascade for production of FDCA from HMF was reported, using galactose oxidase (GalOx) for the formation of 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), followed by the lipase-mediated peracid oxidation of DFF to FDCA. GalOx maintained its catalytic activity upon exposure to a range of organic solvents with only 1 % (v/v) of water. The oxidation of HMF to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) was successfully established in ethyl acetate-based biphasic or microaqueous systems. To validate the concept, the reaction was conducted at 5 % (v/v) water, and integrated in a cascade where DFF was subsequently oxidized to FDCA in a reaction catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B.

Abstract
The establishment of lignocellulosic biorefineries is dependent on microorganisms being able to cope with the stressful conditions resulting from the release of inhibitory compounds during biomass processing. The yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus has been explored as an alternative microbial factory due to its thermotolerance and ability to natively metabolize xylose. The lignocellulose-derived inhibitors furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are considered promising building-block platforms that can be converted into a wide variety of high-value derivatives. Here, several K. marxianus strains, isolated from cocoa fermentation, were evaluated for xylose consumption and tolerance towards acetic acid, furfural, and HMF. The potential of this yeast to reduce furfural and HMF at high inhibitory loads was disclosed and characterized. Our results associated HMF reduction with NADPH while furfural-reducing activity was higher with NADH. In addition, furans' inhibitory effect was higher when combined with xylose consumption. The furan derivatives produced by K. marxianus in different conditions were identified. Furthermore, one selected isolate was efficiently used as a whole-cell biocatalyst to convert furfural and HMF into their derivatives, furfuryl alcohol and 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF), with high yields and productivities. These results validate K. marxianus as a promising microbial platform in lignocellulosic biorefineries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a precursor for green plastics due to its structural similarity to terephthalic acid, a common precursor of oil-derived polymers, and its potential production from sugars obtained from plant biomass. Hydroxymethylfurfural oxidase (HMFO) has been reported as a promising biocatalyst for FDCA production since it can convert bio-based 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into FDCA building block. This three-step oxidation reaction occurs through the diformylfuran and 2,5-formylfurancarboxylic acid (FFCA) intermediates. Several efforts have been made for the development of HMFO variants that increase FDCA yields by improving their activities over the reaction intermediates. However, there is still limited insight into how operational conditions can influence these enzymatic reactions. The setup of optimal reaction conditions would enable to understand potential problems hampering the effective industrial production of this bioplastic precursor using HMFO as biocatalyst. RESULTS In this work, several parameters affecting the performance of Methylovorus sp HMFO oxidizing HMF have been analyzed for the wild-type enzyme, and its V367R and W466F single variants, V367R/W466F double variant, and I73V/H74Y/G356H/V367R/T414K/A419Y/A435E/W466F (8BxHMFO) octuple variant. Our results show how the oxidation of HMF by HMFO enzymes is highly influenced by pH, with different optimal pH values for the different improved variants. Moreover, the enzymes are not stable at high hydrogen peroxide concentrations and their activity is inhibited by the FFCA intermediate in a pH-dependent way. These limitations can be efficiently overcome with the addition of catalase to the reaction medium, which removes the hydrogen peroxide formed during the oxidations, and the controlled dosage of the substrate to limit the amount of FFCA accumulated in the reaction. The different behavior of wild-type HMFO and its variants against pH, hydrogen peroxide and FFCA highlights the importance of considering each variant as an individual enzyme with its own operational conditions for an eventual industrial FDCA production. CONCLUSIONS This work provides information of those parameters that condition a high production of FDCA by HMFO. Unraveling these factors allowed to increase the FDCA yields by using the most stable enzymes at their optimal pH for HMF oxidation, removing the peroxide with catalase, and avoiding FFCA accumulation by controlling substrate and/or enzyme concentration. These above findings will be useful when planning a future scale-up of these conversions and will provide new viewpoints for the design of HMFO variants that render a more effective performance during HMF conversion into FDCA.

Abstract
Of the 25 million tons of plastic waste produced every year in Europe, 40% of these are not reused or recycled, thus contributing to environmental pollution, one of the major challenges of the 21st century. Most of these plastics are made of petrochemical-derived polymers which are very difficult to degrade and as a result, a lot of research efforts have been made on more environmentally friendly alternatives. Bio-based monomers, derived from renewable raw materials, constitute a possible solution for the replacement of oil-derived monomers, with furan derivatives that emerged as platform molecules having a great potential for the synthesis of biobased polyesters, polyamides and their copolymers. This review article summarizes the latest developments in biotechnological production of furan compounds that can be used in polymer chemistry as well as in their conversion into polymers. Moreover, the biodegradability of the resulting materials is discussed.

Abstract
The compound 2,5-di(hydroxymethyl)furan (DHMF) is a high-value chemical block that can be synthesized from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a platform chemical that results from the dehydration of biomass-derived carbohydrates. In this work, the HMF biotransformation capability of different Fusarium species was evaluated, and F. striatum was selected to produce DHMF. The effects of the inoculum size, glucose concentration and pH of the media over DHMF production were evaluated by a 23 factorial design. A substrate feeding approach was found suitable to overcome the toxicity effect of HMF towards the cells when added at high concentrations (>75 mM). The process was successfully scaled-up at bioreactor scale (1.3 L working volume) with excellent DHMF production yields (95%) and selectivity (98%). DHMF was purified from the reaction media with high recovery and purity by organic solvent extraction with ethyl acetate.

Abstract
The application of biocatalysis and White Biotechnology tools in chemical areas concerning the production of bulk compounds and other related low-added value products (with high volumes) has been gaining importance in recent years. The expected drivers of biocatalysis for these sectors are energy savings, regioselectivity (leading to cleaner products), the possibility of using thermolabile substrates, as well as the generation of less by-products and manageable wastes. This paper explores some recent industrial granted patents related to biocatalysis and bulk chemicals. Several patents have been identified in fields such as biodiesel and esterification reactions, and sugar or furan chemistry. Overall, innovative strategies involve the identification of novel enzymes, the set-up of improved immobilization methods, as well as novel reactor designs that can offer improved performances and economics. The reported examples indicate that biocatalysis can certainly offer opportunities for these areas as well, far from the typical pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications often reported in the literature.

Abstract
In the present study, amino-functionalised mesoporous silica microspheres were utilised as support for the covalent immobilisation of Candida antarctica lipase B (CaLB) for the subsequent production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF). Under the optimised operating conditions of pH 6.5, particle/enzyme ratio of 1.25:1.0 and glutaraldehyde concentration of 4 mM, a maximum CaLB immobilisation yield of 82.4% on silica microspheres was obtained in 12.25 h. The immobilised CaLB was used for the synthesis of alkyl esters, which were utilised along with hydrogen peroxide for FDCA synthesis. The biocatalytic conversion of 30 mM DFF dictated a 77-79% FDCA in 48 h at 30°C; where the turnover number and turnover frequency of immobilised CaLB were 6220.73 mol mol-1 and 129.59 h-1, respectively, for ethyl acetate, against 6297.65 mol mol-1 and 131.2 h-1, respectively, for ethyl butyrate. Upon examining the operational stability, the immobilised CaLB exhibited high stability till five cycles of FDCA production.

Abstract
Furfuryl alcohol is an important reduction product from biomass derived furfural. This study developed one-pot biosynthesis of furfuryl alcohol and lactic acid by a glucose coupled biphasic system using single Bacillus coagulans NL01. Water/dioctyl phthalate is chosen as biphasic system to alleviate the toxicity of furfural and furfuryl alcohol. Under the optimal conditions, the high-concentration conversion (208 mM) of furfural was successfully converted in 6 h reaction with 98% furfural conversion and 88% furfuryl alcohol selectivity. Notably, glucose as co-substrate could be effectively converted to lactic acid in this biphasic system. About 264 mM furfuryl alcohol and 64.2 g/L lactic acid were simultaneously produced from 310 mM furfural and 71.3 g/L glucose within 8.5 h by a fed-batch strategy. The developed approach can not only increase the produced furfuryl alcohol concentration but also reduce the cost of overall approach by lactic acid co-production, indicating its potential for industrial applications.

Abstract
Microorganisms from extreme environments tend to undergo various adaptations due to environmental conditions such as extreme pH, temperature, salinity, heavy metals, and solvents. Thus, they produce enzymes with unique properties and high specificity, making them useful industrially, particularly in the food industries. Despite these enzymes' remarkable properties, only a few instances can be reported for actual exploitation in the food industry. This review's objectives are to highlight the properties of these enzymes and their prospects in the food industry. First, an introduction to extremophilic organisms is presented, followed by the categories and application of food enzymes from extremophiles. Then, the unique structural features of extremozymes are shown. This review also covers the prospective applications of extremozymes in the food industry in a broader sense, including degradation of toxins, deconstruction of polymers into monomers, and catalysis of multistep processes. Finally, the challenges in bioprocessing of extremozymes and applications in food are presented. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Enzymes are important players in food processing and preservation. Extremozymes, by their nature, are ideal for a broad range of food processing applications, particularly those that require process conditions of extreme pH, temperature, and salinity. As the global food industry grows, so too will grow the need to research and develop food products that are diverse, safe, healthy, and nutritious. There is also the need to produce food in a sustainable way that generates less waste or maximizes waste valorization. We anticipate that extremozymes can meet some of the research and development needs of the food industry.

Abstract
In the pursuit of establishing a sustainable biobased economy, valorization of lignocellulosic biomass is increasing its value as a feedstock. Nevertheless, to achieve the integrated biorefinery paradigm, the selective fractionation of its complex matrix to its single constituents must be complete. This review presents and examines the novel catalytic pathways to form furfuryl alcohol (FuOH) from xylose in a one-pot system. This production concept takes on chemical, thermochemical and biochemical transformations or a combination of them. Still, the bulk of the research is targeted to develop heterogeneous catalytic systems to synthesize FuOH from furfural and xylose. The present review includes an overview of the economic aspects to produce this platform chemical in an industrial manner. In the last section of this review, an outlook and summary of catalytic processes to produce FuOH are highlighted.

Abstract
Biocatalytic upgrading of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into high-value derivatives is of great significance in green chemistry. In this study, we disclosed the successful utilization of whole-cell Paraburkholderia azotifigens F18 for its switchable catalytic performance in the on-demand catalysis of HMF to different value-added derivatives, namely, selective reduction to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) or oxidation to 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA). Based on the fine-tuning of biochemical properties, the biocatalyst can proceed an efficient hydrogenation reaction toward HMF with a good selectivity of 97.6% to yield the BHMF at 92.2%. Noteworthily, BHMF could be further oxidized to HMFCA and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) by the whole cell. To realize the on-demand syntheses of HMFCA, the genes encoding HMF oxidoreductase/oxidase of whole-cell F18 were then deleted to prevent the further conversion of HMFCA to FDCA, which led to a 10-fold decrease of FDCA. Thus, an HMF conversion of 100% with an HMFCA yield of 98.3% was finally achieved by the engineered whole cell at a substrate concentration of 150 mM. Moreover, HMFCA synthesis was efficiently prepared with an excellent selectivity of 96.3% and a yield of 85.1% even at a high substrate concentration of up to 200 mM.

Abstract
The constant depletion of fossil fuels along with the increasing need for novel materials, necessitate the development of alternative routes for polymer synthesis. Lignocellulosic biomass, the most abundant carbon source on the planet, can serve as a renewable starting material for the design of environmentally-friendly processes for the synthesis of polyesters, polyamides and other polymers with significant value. The present review provides an overview of the main processes that have been reported throughout the literature for the production of bio-based monomers from lignocellulose, focusing on physicochemical procedures and biocatalysis. An extensive description of all different stages for the production of furans is presented, starting from physicochemical pretreatment of biomass and biocatalytic decomposition to monomeric sugars, coupled with isomerization by enzymes prior to chemical dehydration by acid Lewis catalysts. A summary of all biotransformations of furans carried out by enzymes is also described, focusing on galactose, glyoxal and aryl-alcohol oxidases, monooxygenases and transaminases for the production of oxidized derivatives and amines. The increased interest in these products in polymer chemistry can lead to a redirection of biomass valorization from second generation biofuels to chemical synthesis, by creating novel pathways to produce bio-based polymers.

Abstract
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is attracting increasing attention because of its potential applications as a sustainable substitute to petroleum-derived terephthalic acid for the production of bio-based polymers, such as poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF). Many catalytic methods have been developed for the synthesis of FDCA, including chemocatalysis, biocatalysis, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis. Biocatalysis is a promising approach with advantages that include mild reaction condition, lower cost, higher selectivity, and environment amity. However, the biocatalytic production of FDCA has hardly been reviewed. To fully understand the current research developments, this review comprehensively considers the research progress on toxic effects and biodegradation of furan aldehydes, and then summarizes the latest achievements concerning the synthesis of FDCA from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and other chemicals, such as 2-furoic acid and 5-methoxymethylfurfural. Our primary focus is on biocatalytic methods, including enzymatic catalysis (in vitro) and whole-cell catalysis (in vivo). Furthermore, future research directions and general developmental trends for more efficient biocatalytic production of FDCA are also proposed.

Abstract
Furancarboxylic acids are promising biobased building blocks in pharmaceutical and polymer industries. In this work, dual-enzyme cascade systems composed of galactose oxidase (GOase) and alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are constructed for controlled synthesis of 5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), based on the catalytic promiscuity of ADHs. The byproduct H2 O2 , which is produced in GOase-catalyzed oxidation of HMF to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), is used for horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated regeneration of the oxidized nicotinamide cofactors for subsequent oxidation of DFF promoted by an ADH, thus implementing H2 O2 internal recycling. The desired products FFCA and FDCA are obtained with yields of more than 95 %.

Abstract
Acting as a "green" manufacturing route, the enzyme toolbox made up of galactose oxidase, catalase, and horseradish peroxidase can achieve a satisfactory yield of 2,5-diformylfuran derived from 30 mM hydroxymethylfurfural. However, as the concentration of hydroxymethylfurfural increases, the substrate causes oxidative damage to the activity of the tri-enzyme system, and the accumulated hydrogen peroxide produced by galactose oxidase causes tri-enzyme inactivation. The cost of tri-enzymes is also very high. These problems prevent the utilization of this enzyme toolbox in practice. To address this, galactose oxidase, catalase, and horseradish peroxidase were co-immobilized into Cu3(PO4)2 nanoflowers in this study. The resulting co-immobilized tri-enzymes possessed better tolerance towards the oxidative damage caused by hydroxymethylfurfural at high concentrations, as compared to free tri-enzymes. Moreover, the 2,5-diformylfuran yield of co-immobilized tri-enzymes (95.7 ± 2.7%) was 1.06 times higher than that of separately immobilized enzymes (90.4 ± 1.9%). This result could be attributed to the boosted protective effect provided by catalase to the activity of galactose oxidase, owing to the physical proximity between them on the same support. After 30 recycles, co-immobilized tri-enzymes still achieves 86% of the initial yield. Moreover, co-immobilized tri-enzymes show enhanced thermal stability compared with free tri-enzymes. This work paves the way for the production of 2,5-diformylfuran from hydroxymethylfurfural via co-immobilized tri-enzymes.

Abstract
Value-added utilization of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce useful derivatives is of great interest. In this work, extremely radiation resistant Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12 was explored for the first time as a new robust biocatalyst for selective oxidation of HMF to 5-hydroxymethylfuroic acid (HMFCA). Its resting cells exhibited excellent catalytic performance in a broad range of pH and temperature values, and extremely high tolerance to HMF and the HMFCA product. An excellent yield of HMFCA (up to 90%) was achieved when the substrate concentration was set to 300 mM under the optimized reaction conditions. In addition, 511 mM of product was obtained within 20 h by employing a fed-batch strategy, affording a productivity of 44 g/L per day. Of significant synthetic interest was the finding that the D. wulumuqiensis R12 cells were able to catalyze the selective oxidation of other structurally diverse aldehydes to their corresponding acids with good yield and high selectivity, indicating broad substrate scope and potential widespread applications in biotechnology and organic chemistry.

Abstract
The quest for sustainable solvents is currently a matter of intense research and development, as solvents significantly contribute heavily to the waste generated by chemical industries. Cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) is a promising eco-friendly solvent with valuable properties such as low peroxide formation rate, stability under basic and acidic conditions, and relatively high boiling point. This Review discusses the potential use of CPME for applications in biotechnology (e.g., biotransformations, as solvent or cosolvent), biorefineries, and bioeconomy (e.g., for furan synthesis or as an extractive agent in liquid-liquid separations), as well as for other purposes, such as chromatography or peptide synthesis. Although CPME is currently produced by petrochemical means with a remarkably high atom economy, its biogenic production can be envisaged from substrates such as cyclopentanol or cyclopentanone, which can be derived from furfural or from (bio-based) adipic acid, respectively. The combination of the promising properties of CPME as a (co)solvent with a future (economic) biogenic origin would be advantageous for setting strategies aligned with the sustainable chemistry principles.

Abstract
Furfuryl alcohol (FA) is an important building block in polymer, food, and pharmaceutical industries. In this work, we reported the biocatalytic reduction of furfural, one of the top value-added bio-based platform chemicals, to FA by immobilized Meyerozyma guilliermondii SC1103 cells. The biocatalytic process was optimized, and the tolerance of this yeast strain toward toxic furfural was evaluated. It was found that furfural of 200 mM could be reduced smoothly to the desired product FA with the conversion of 98% and the selectivity of >98%, while the FA yield was only approximately 81%. The gap between the substrate conversion and the product yield might partially be attributed to the substantial adsorption of the immobilization material (calcium alginate) toward the desired product, but microbial metabolism of furans (as carbon sources) made a negligible contribution to it. In addition, FA of approximately 156 mM was produced within 7 h in a scale-up reaction, along with the formation of trace 2-furoic acid (1 mM) as the byproduct. The FA productivity was up to 2.9 g/L/h, the highest value ever reported in the biocatalytic synthesis of FA. The crude FA was simply separated from the reaction mixture by organic solvent extraction, with the recovery of 90% and the purity of 88%. FA as high as 266 mM was produced by using a fed-batch strategy within 15.5 h.

Abstract
Upgrading of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has attracted considerable interest recently. In this work, efficient synthesis of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) from HMF was reported with the acclimatized Meyerozyma guilliermondii SC1103 cells entrapped in calcium alginate beads. Catalytic activities of the cells as well as their HMF-tolerant level increased significantly upon acclimatization and immobilization. BHMF was obtained within 7-24 h with good yields (82-85%) and excellent selectivities (99%) when the substrate concentrations were 200-300 mM. In scale-up synthesis, BHMF of up to 181 mM was produced within 7 h, and its productivity was approximately 3.3 g/L h. In addition, the immobilized biocatalyst showed satisfactory operational stability; the cell viability of 70% was retained after reuse 4 times. With rice straw hydrolysate as co-substrate, both the reaction rate and selectivity decreased, likely due to the deleterious influence of xylose in the hydrolysate.

Abstract
Bio-catalysis is an attractive alternative to replace chemical methods due to its high selectivity and mild reaction conditions. Furfural is an important bio-based platform compound generated from biomass. Herein, the bio-catalytic reduction of furfural (FAL) to furfuryl alcohol (FOL) was performed by using a furfural tolerant strain, Bacillus coagulans NL01. An efficient co-substrate was explored and a high conversion and selectivity of FAL to FOL was reported over this bio-catalytic system using glucose as co-substrate. As the bioconversion occurred over 42 mM FAL, 20 g L-1 glucose and 9 mg mL-1 at 50 °C, a high conversion and selectivity was obtained by 3 h reaction. This transformation rate of FAL was the highest compared with other reactions. Furthermore, about 98 mM FOL was produced from FAL within 24 h by a fed-batch strategy with a conversion of 92% and selectivity of 96%. These results indicate that this bio-catalytic reduction of FAL has high potential for application to upgrading of FAL and B. coagulans NL01 is a promising biocatalyst for the synthesis of FOL. In addition, this bio-catalytic reduction shows a high potential application for catalytic upgrading of FAL from biomass.

Abstract
To develop novel biorefinery concepts, the use of bio-based catalysts and solvents must be aligned with the principles of green chemistry. In this context, biogenic 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a very promising yet underused molecule with high potential for application as an acid catalyst, combining feasibility and sustainability with efficient and straightforward recovery. In this study, FDCA was evaluated as a catalyst in the recently developed OrganoCat pretreatment, a biphasic lignocellulose fractionation system. The catalyst was investigated for the efficient fractionation of the three main components-lignin, cellulose and noncellulosic sugars-with particular focus on the lignin quality, on the effect on enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulosic residue, and on the noncellulosic sugar extraction. To address recovery of FDCA from the OrganoCat system, a method was developed, leading to the recovery of >97 % of FDCA with a spectroscopic purity of >99 %, maintaining full activity in consecutive runs.

Abstract
The first use of biomass-derived HMF in the one-pot Kabachnik–Fields reaction is reported here. A wide range of furan-based α-amino phosphonates were prepared in moderate to excellent yields under mild, effective and environmentally-benign conditions: iodine as a non-metal catalyst, biobased 2-MeTHF as the solvent and room or moderate temperature. The hydroxymethyl group of HMF persists in the Kabachnik–Fields products, widening the scope of further modification and derivatization compared to those arising from furfural. Issues involving the diastereoselectivity and double Kabachnik–Fields condensation were also faced. A mild and efficient one-pot protocol for the synthesis of α-amino phosphonates directly from 5-HMF was described.![]()
