Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase is Associated with the Growth of <i>Malassezia</i> spp.

Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase is Associated with the Growth of <i>Malassezia</i> spp.

The lipophilic fungal pathogen <i>Malassezia</i> spp. must acquire long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) from outside the cell. To clarify the mechanism of LCFA acquisition, we investigated fatty acid uptake by this fungus and identified the long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) gene <i>FA...
