Genome-informed characterization and targeted mycotoxin screening of an Aspergillus niger starter candidate for hawk tea solid-state fermentation

Characterization of an Aspergillus niger starter candidate used for hawk tea fermentation by whole-genome sequencing, comparative genomics, functional annotation, secondary-metabolite genome mining, and targeted HPLC–FLD analysis provides a strain-level basis for further controlled validation.
