Abstract: The present disclosure provides a copolyester including a dicarboxylic acid component A comprising a terephthalic acid residue or ester-forming derivative thereof, or a mixture thereof, and a 2,4-furandicarboxylic acid residue or ester-forming derivative thereof, or a mixture thereof, and a diol component B comprising an alkanediol residue having from 2 to 22 carbon atoms, wherein the dicarboxylic acid component A has a total molar content, and wherein the 2,4-furandicarboxylic acid residue or ester-forming derivative thereof, is present in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 mol %, with respect to the total molar content of the dicarboxylic acid component A. Inventive copolyesters have a slower crystallization rate, a higher gas barrier to CO2 and O2 and a higher ratio of 14C to 12C as measured by ASTM D6866 when compared to a comparable copolyester comprising isophthalic acid instead of 2,4-furandicarboxylic acid.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides recombinant microorganisms and methods for the production of 4-HMF, 2,4-furandimethanol, furan-2,4-dicarbaldehyde, 4-(hydroxymethyl)furoic acid, 2-formylfuran-4-carboxylate, 4-formylfuran-2-carboxylate, and/or 2,4-FDCA from a carbon source. The method provides for engineered microorganisms that express endogenous and/or exogenous nucleic acid molecules that catalyze the conversion of a carbon source into 4-HMF, 2,4-furandimethanol, furan-2,4-dicarbaldehyde, 4-(hydroxymethyl)furoic acid, 2-formylfuran-4-carboxylate, 4-formylfuran-2-carboxylate, and/or 2,4-FDCA. The disclosure further provides methods of producing polymers derived from 4-HMF, 2,4-furandimethanol, furan-2,4-dicarbaldehyde, 4-(hydroxymethyl)furoic acid, 2-formylfuran-4-carboxylate, 4-formylfuran-2-carboxylate, and/or 2,4-FDCA.
