Host skin lipids trigger MAT-dependent mating, pathogenic hyphal growth, and parasexual reproduction of Malassezia furfur

Erica Patriarca, Bastien Tirtiaux, Marcia David Palma, Anna Floyd Averette, Eduardo Gushiken, Yves Poumay, Salomé LeibundGut‐Landmann, Joseph Heitman, Marco A. Coelho, Giuseppe Ianiri

This study shows that Malassezia furfur hyphal growth depends on mating-type loci and is promoted by host skin lipids, linking parasexual reproduction to pathogenic traits.
