Abstract

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), one of the top biomass-based platform chemical, is highly promising for resins and polymers, and it can be prepared from the bio-oxidation of hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), which can be obtained mainly from lignocellulosic glucose that has a high production potential from not edible biomass.A native strain, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus NL14, that could convert HMF into FDCA is used for combining degradation and fermentation by consolidated bioprocessing (CBP). In this study, it was observed that the initial HMF concentration and pH neutralizer played important roles in the bioconversion of HMF, 5g/L of HMF could be converted by 100% within 48h with 0.5g/L sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with the production of 0.31g/L FDCA. Extra glucose and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) addition could further promote the production of FDCA to 0.54g/L with 100% HMF conversion and a higher conversion rate. This report could provide a potential native bacterium for furan chemicals bioconversion and bioelimination, especially for FDCA bioproduction.
