Microorganisms were used to reduce regioselectively carbonyl groups in furan systems and the aplication of biocatalysis products in the production of new polymers (polyesters). The study had a great focus on the bioreduction of 5hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) using yeasts available in the lab collection as well as assess its conversion efficiency.
