International audience; Hybrid catalysis, which combines chemo-and biocatalytic benefits, is an efficient way to address green chemistry principles. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile building block in numerous industrial applications. To date, few studies have described the production of its amine derivatives and their polymers. Finding a good methodology to directly transform HMF to 5-aminomethyl-2furancarboxylic acid (AMFC) therefore represents an important challenge. After selecting the best oxidation catalyst for HMF conversion to 5-aldehyde-2-furancarboxylic acid and immobilizing a transaminase onto a solid carrier, we implemented the first onepot/two-steps hybrid catalytic process to produce AMFC (77 % yield); this is the most efficient AMFC catalytic production method from HMF reported to date. This process also produced 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (21 % yield) as a major secondary product that can be applied to polymer syntheses such as polyethylene furanoate. Herein, we report a novel way to access new biosourced polymers based on HMF oxidized and aminated derivatives.

International audience; The identification of non-fermentative Gram negative bacilli from run-off and spring water, including fluorescent Pseudomonas is very complex and investigations are needed to contribute to the systematic of these bacteria. In this dataset, the phenotypical profiles of three strains isolated from Vosges mountains first identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens were determined using APIⓇ 50 CH galleries. Then, the identification of their proteins released directly into water was carried out using tandem/mass spectrometry after separating proteins on native two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels. Finally, genotypic analysis data is presented, that illustrates biodiversity in this fluorescent bacterial group. This data is referred by a research article entitled "Fluorescent Pseudomonas strains from mid-mountain water able to release antioxidant proteins directly into water".
