Abstract: The invention relates to a polypeptide having oxidoreductase activity which comprises the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 3 or an amino acid sequence encoded by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4, or a variant polypeptide thereof having 45% or more sequence identity with the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3. The invention also relates to a process for the production of 2,5-furan-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) or production of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMF acid).

Abstract: The invention relates to an eukaryotic cell expressing nucleotide sequences encoding the ara A, ara B and ara D enzymes whereby the expression of these nucleotide sequences confers on the cell the ability to use L-arabinose and/or convert L-arabinose into L-ribulose, and/or xylulose 5-phosphate and/or into a desired fermentation product such as ethanol. Optionally, the eukaryotic cell is also able to convert xylose into ethanol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a eukaryotic cell containing peroxisomes that are capable to fuse with a membrane-structure of the cell involved in the secretory pathway of the cell. In this way, the eukaryotic cell is able to release the peroxisomal content outside the cell. The invention also relates to a method for production of a compound of interest in said eukaryotic cell wherein said compound of interest is present in the peroxisome of the cell. Said compound of interest will accumulate in the peroxisome by a signal promoting peroxisome localization. Preferred host cells are filamentous fungal cells.
