The present disclosure generally relates to a compound of dialkyl ester of 2,4-furandicarboxylic acid, a method of preparing the compound, a polymer composition comprising a polymer and the compound, a method of preparing the polymer composition, a polymer product comprising the polymer composition and a method of using the compound as a plasticizer in the polymer product. The dialkyl ester of 2,4-furandicarboxylic acid of the present disclosure has greater plasticizing efficiency in a polymer composition that that of the standard phthalate and terephthalate-based plasticizers. The polymer product plasticized with the dialkyl ester of 2,4-furandicarboxylic acid may have improved flexibility, durability, processability and safety as compared to the same polymer product plasticized with conventional phthalate and terephthalate-based plasticizers.

Production and use of plasticizers based on 2,4-isomer of furandicarboxylic acid diesters

In alternative embodiments, provided are non-natural or genetically engineered vinylisomerase-dehydratase enzymes, including alkenol dehydratases, linalool dehydratases and crotyl alcohol dehydratases. In alternative embodiments, provided are non-natural or genetically engineered polypeptides having an activity comprising, for example, a vinylisomerase-dehydratase, an alkenol dehydratase, a linalool dehydratase and/or a crotyl alcohol dehydratase activity, or a combination thereof. In alternative embodiments, also provided are non-natural or genetically engineered nucleic acids (polynucleotides) encoding polypeptides described herein, expression or cloning vehicles comprising or having contained therein nucleic acids as described herein, and non-natural or genetically engineered cells comprising or having contained therein nucleic acids as described herein. In alternative embodiments, also provided are methods for making various organic compounds, including methyl vinyl carbinol and butadiene.

Vinylisomerase-dehydratases, alkenol dehydratases, linalool dehydratases and crotyl alcohol dehydratases and methods for making and using them

The present disclosure generally relates to methods of using microorganisms that comprise one or more polynucleotides coding for enzymes in one or more pathways that catalyze a conversion of a fermentable carbon source to butadiene and products and processes derived therefrom.

Modified microorganisms and methods of making butadiene using same

The present disclosure generally relates to microorganisms that comprise one or more polynucleotides coding for enzymes in one or more pathways that catalyze a conversion of a fermentable carbon source to butadiene. Also provided are methods of using the microorganisms in industrial processes including, for use in the production of butadiene and products derived therefrom.
