Enhanced 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) Conversion to 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA): Cloning and Expression of FAD-dependent oxidoreductase (HmfH) in Escherichia coli and Gluconobacter oxydans
The annual plastic production was over 400 million tonnes in 2023 and it is expected to keep growing over the years. The increasing use of fossil-based materials and problems regarding the environmental impact of plastic waste motivate the transition towards a circular economy. Interest in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has increased due to the possibility of being a biobased building block in the
