Malassezia spp. beyond The Mycobiota
Malassezia species are part of the normal mycobiota of skin of animals and humans but they can cause skin and blood stream infections as well. These yeasts are all lipid dependent explained by the absence of fatty acid synthase genes in their genome. At the same time, metabolic reconstruction revealed differences in the metabolism of fungal steroids ...
