Chemical and Transcriptomic Data on Ginseng Fermented by Aspergillus Cristatus

Panax ginseng roots fermented by the golden flower fungus Aspergillus cristatus produce a product named Golden Flower Chinese Ginseng (GFCG). High-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry data reveal metabolite changes and increased production of rare ginsenosides. Transcriptomic analysis shows over 72% of significantly differentially expressed genes in the fungus decreased during interaction with ginseng.

Use Cases

• Analyzing changes in ginsenoside profiles based on fermentation data mentioned in the description
• Studying fungal gene expression suppression during plant colonization based on transcriptomic results
• Investigating the biotransformation mechanisms of medicinal plants based on combined chemical and molecular data

Strengths

• Includes both chemical (HPLC/LC-MS) and transcriptomic data for a multi-omics perspective
• Data characterizes a specific fermented product (Golden Flower Chinese Ginseng) with potential molecular mechanisms
• Released under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and redistribution

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
