Biosorption potential of lead tolerant fungi isolated from refuse dumpsite soil in Nigeria
Metals are non-biodegradable and recurrent in the environs. Heavy metals tolerant fungi were isolated from refuse dumpsite soil using pour plate method. These fungi were identified as Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum and Rhizomucor sp.

How a fungus shapes biotechnology: 100 years of Aspergillus niger research
In 1917, a food chemist named James Currie made a promising discovery: any strain of the filamentous mould Aspergillus niger would produce high concentrations of citric acid when grown in sugar medium.

RNAseq reveals hydrophobins that are involved in the adaptation of aspergillus nidulans to lignocellulose [PDF]
Background Sugarcane is one of the world’s most profitable crops. Waste steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse (SEB) is a cheap, abundant, and renewable lignocellulosic feedstock for the next-generation biofuels.

Ochratoxin A production by strains of Aspergillus niger var. niger [PDF]
In a survey of the occurrence of ochratoxin A (OA)-positive strains isolated from feedstuffs, two of the 19 isolates of Aspergillus niger var. niger that were studied produced OA in 2% yeast extract-15% sucrose broth and in corn cultures. This is the first report of production of OA by this species.

Construction of an improved Aspergillus niger platform for enhanced glucoamylase secretion
BackgroundThe lifestyle of filamentous fungi depends on the secretion of hydrolytic enzymes into the surrounding medium, which degrade polymeric substances into monomers that are then taken up to sustain metabolism.
