Golden Flower Chinese Ginseng: Metabolite and Transcriptomic Data from Fungal Fermentation

A 383.4 KB Excel dataset from figshare, authored by Lei Wang and last updated in April 2026, details the chemical and molecular changes in Panax ginseng roots fermented by Aspergillus cristatus fungus. The data includes high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer results showing metabolite changes and rare ginsenoside production, alongside transcriptomic analysis of differentially expressed fungal genes. This study provides a chemical characterization of the fermented product 'Golden Flower Chinese Ginseng' and explores the potential molecular mechanism of biotransformation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing changes in ginsenoside profiles based on HPLC and LC-MS metabolite data mentioned in the description
• Studying fungal gene expression suppression during plant colonization based on the transcriptomic analysis of Aspergillus cristatus
• Investigating the relationship between translational/post-translational gene activation and rare compound production in fermented roots
• Comparing the functional components of fermented versus non-fermented Panax ginseng roots

Strengths

• Data includes results from two analytical techniques: high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC-MS)
• Transcriptomic analysis covers more than 72% of significantly differentially expressed genes in the fungus
• Dataset is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is small (383.4 KB), indicating a limited scope of measurements or samples
