Abstract

The production of a precipitate by Malassezia species on Dixon's agar was observed. Malassezia furfur (n=12), M. obtusa (n=2) and M. slooffiae (n=3) were precipitate negative, while M. sympodialis (n=32) and M. globosa (n=6) were precipitate positive. This test may be useful in differentiating Malassezia species.
