Highly Selective Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural to 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-Furancarboxylic Acid by a Robust Whole-Cell Biocatalyst

Value-added utilization of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce useful derivatives is of great interest. In this work, extremely radiation resistant <i>Deinococcus wulumuqiensis</i> R12 was explored for the first time as a new robust biocatalyst for selective oxidatio...
