Metatranscriptomic analysis of Aspergillus niger during strontium leaching from mining soil
This metatranscriptome dataset captures the gene expression profile of Aspergillus niger during the bioleaching of strontium from soil. The soil sample was collected from the surface layer near the Zhujiabaobao vanadium-titanium magnetite mining area in Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province, China. The study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying fungal-mediated strontium mobilization, including key genes and metabolic pathways involved in organic acid secretion, metal complexation, and redox processes. This dataset will support research on bioremediation of heavy metal-contaminated sites and bioleaching applications for metal recovery.
