Abstract

Enzymes capable of metabolizing lipids are essential for the growth of Malassezia furfur in vitro and in vivo. We designed a series of experiments to characterize the lipolytic system in this yeast. The optimal pH of the lipase system was 7.5 Lipase activity was detected in soluble and insoluble saline cell extracts and in supernatant from the cultures. Esterase activity screened in samples separated by native polyacrylamide gels showed that it was restricted to one band of low mobility. An FPLC analysis of the soluble saline extract demonstrated that the lipase activity was present in three major peaks with different protein composition as revealed by SDS-PAGE. The enzymatic activity and cell growth were first induced and later inhibited by increasing concentrations of polyethylene-sorbitan-monooleate (Tween-80). The characterization of the lipolytic system (e.g. its induction by substrate and the effect of pH and/or different cations) could help to explain the increment in the number of M. furfur infections related to alterations of surface lipids in the skin such as seborrheic dermatitis.

Malassezia has lipase activity, which hydrolyzes human sebum triglycerides and releases unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic and arachidonic acid.
“Furthermore, Malassezia was shown to have lipase activity, which hydrolyzes human sebum triglycerides and releases unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic and arachidonic acid [51,52].”
From Seborrheic Dermatitis and Dandruff: A Comprehensive Review (2015) · cites this paper as [52]
The Abstract and Discussion report lipase activity in Malassezia furfur, and the Titrimetric determination of lipase section measures fatty acids formed by hydrolysis of olive oil (page numbers unavailable). The paper does not establish that the enzyme hydrolyzes human sebum triglycerides or releases oleic and arachidonic acids specifically. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
