Aspergillus niger is a ubiquitous black-spored mold with a globally cosmopolitan distribution, recognized by its dense black conidial heads. It inhabits soil, decaying organic matter, and indoor environments worldwide across tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes complex organic matter and is commercially important for citric acid production and enzyme manufacturing.
