Malassezia nana sp. nov., a novel lipid-dependent yeast species isolated from animals

Abstract: Five isolates of a novel species of the yeast genus Malassezia were isolated from animals in Japan and Brazil. Phylogenetic trees based on the D1/D2 domains of the large-subunit (26S) rDNA sequences and nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer 1 region showed that the isolates were conspecific and belonged to the genus Malassezia. They were related closely to Malassezia dermatis and Malassezia sympodialis, but were clearly distinct from these two species and the other six species of Malassezia t… Show more

“…Futhermore, recently three new species were included in this genus, namely M. dermatis, M. yamatoensis and M. nana (14,17,35,38). With the exception of M. pachidermatis, the remaining eight species have an absolute in vitro requirement for suplementation of long-chain fatty acids.…”

“…globosa, M. obtusa and M. restricta (Gueho et al, 1996). M. pachydermatis is the only non lipid-depended species confirmed to be associated with animals, while remaining species are obligatory lipophilic and found primarily in humans (Guillot & Bond, 1999 (Sugita et al, 2002;Sugita et al, 2003;Sugita et al, 2004;Hirai et al, 2004;Cabañes et al, 2007;Cabañes et al, 2011). At present, 14 species of Malassezia have been identified.…”
