Malassezia is a genus of fungi (specifically, a yeast). Some species of Malassezia are found on the skin of animals, including humans. Because malassezia requires fat to grow, [3] it is most common in areas with many sebaceous glands—on the scalp, [4] face, and upper part of the body.
Malassezia furfur (formerly known as Pityrosporum ovale) is a species of yeast (a type of fungus) that is naturally found on the skin surfaces of humans and some other mammals. It is associated with a variety of dermatological conditions caused by fungal infections , notably seborrhoeic dermatitis and tinea versicolor .
A project in 2007 has sequenced the genome of dandruff-causing Malassezia globosa and found it to have 4,285 genes. [5] [6] M. globosa uses eight different types of lipase, along with three phospholipases, to break down the oils on the scalp. Any of these 11 proteins would be a suitable target for dandruff medications.

[2] It is characterized by a pronounced lipophily, unilateral, percurrent or sympodial budding and an irregular, corrugated cell wall ultrastructure. [3] [4] It is one of the most common species found on the skin of healthy and diseased individuals. [5]
