  • Modification of furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural by manganese(III)

    Creator:
    Morse, Lettie
    Abstract:
    Biomass pretreatment-derived degradation compounds, such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural (HMF),inhibit the growth of fermentation microorganisms that utilize biomass to produce biofuels and chemicals. Here we report that manganese(III) can degrade furfural and HMF, making them less toxic to microorganisms. Treatment with manganese(III) reduced furfural and HMF concentrations in a dose-dependent...
