Data Sheet 4_Revealing the effects of Aspergillus cristatus, golden flower fungus, ferment

Golden Flower Chinese Ginseng (GFCG) is a fermented product of Panax ginseng roots created using the beneficial fungus Aspergillus cristatus. 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 the plant, suggesting a unique molecular mechanism for biotransformation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing changes in ginsenoside profiles based on high-performance liquid chromatography data.
• Studying fungal gene expression responses during plant colonization based on transcriptomic analysis.
• Investigating the molecular mechanisms of microbial biotransformation of medicinal plant compounds.
• Identifying potential biomarkers for fermented ginseng product quality based on metabolite data.

Strengths

• Data includes results from both high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry systems.
• Transcriptomic analysis quantifies that over 72% of significantly differentially expressed fungal genes decreased.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Dataset size is 69.7 KB, indicating a very limited scope of data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
