Characterization of the species Malassezia pachydermatis and re-evaluation of its lipid dependence using a synthetic agar medium
6 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
The genus Malassezia includes lipophilic yeasts, which are part of the skin microbiota of various mammals and birds. Unlike the rest of Malassezia species, M. pachydermatis is described as non-lipid-dependent, as it is able to grow on Sabouraud glucose agar (SGA) without lipid supplementation. In this study we have examined the phenotypic variability within M. pachydermatis and confirmed its lipid-dependent...
