    Abstract:
    Excessive sodium significantly inhibits citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger during the recycling of citric acid wastewater. This study aimed to elucidate the inhibition mechanism at the interface of physiology and transcriptomics. The results showed that excessive sodium caused a 22.3 % increase in oxalic acid secretion and a 147.6 % increase in H+-ATPase activity at the 4 h fermentation compared to the control. Meanwhile, a 13.1 % reduction in energy charge level and a 15.2 % decline in NADH content were found, which implied the effects on carbon metabolism and redox balance. In addition, transcriptomic analysis revealed that excessive sodium altered the gene expression profiles related to ATPase, hydrolase, and oxidoreductase, as well as pathways like glyoxylate metabolism, and transmembrane transport. These findings gained insights into the metabolic regulation of A. niger response to environmental stress and provided theoretical guidance for the construction of sodium-tolerant A. niger for industrial application.
