Lipid Metabolic Versatility in Malassezia spp. Yeasts Studied through Metabolic Modeling
Malassezia species are lipophilic and lipid-dependent yeasts belonging to the human and animal microbiota. Typically, they are isolated from regions rich in sebaceous glands. They have been associated with dermatological diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis versicolor, atopic dermatitis, and folliculitis. The genomes of Malassezia globosa, Malassezia sympodialis, and Malassezia pa...
متن کاملPsoriasis and Malassezia Yeasts
Currently, the genus Malassezia includes 14 species, which have been identified traditionally based on their morphology and biochemical features (Cafarchia et al., 2011). Since the description of new species a number of studies have evolved to elucidate the role of the different species in the ecology and pathogenicity in a range of dermatoses, in which variable results have been reported from ...
متن کاملLipid Profile and Leptin Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Abstract Background and Objective: Metabolic syndrome called a cluster of several metabolic disorders is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Genetic differences in leptin receptor gene are related with the concentration and activity of leptin in that these discrepancies can influence lipid levels. We aimed to determine the association between the leptin receptor gene p...
متن کاملImproving Bioenergy Crops through Dynamic Metabolic Modeling
Enormous advances in genetics and metabolic engineering have made it possible, in principle, to create new plants and crops with improved yield through targeted molecular alterations. However, while the potential is beyond doubt, the actual implementation of envisioned new strains is often difficult, due to the diverse and complex nature of plants. Indeed, the intrinsic complexity of plants mak...
متن کاملCarriage of Malassezia spp. yeasts in cats with diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism and neoplasia.
The frequencies of isolation and population sizes of Malassezia spp. on skin and at mucosal sites in 16 cats with diabetes mellitus, 20 cats with hyperthyroidism and 8 cats with neoplasia did not vary significantly from those of healthy cats when measured with the use of contact plates and a swab technique. M. pachydermatis was isolated from nine sites in one cat with feline paraneoplastic alop...
