Complete Genome Sequence of <i>Malassezia restricta</i> CBS 7877, an Opportunist Pathogen Involved in Dandruff and Seborrheic Dermatitis

Abstract

Malassezia restricta, one of the predominant basidiomycetous yeasts present on human skin, is involved in scalp disorders. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the lipophilic Malassezia restricta CBS 7877 strain, which will facilitate the study of the mechanisms underlying its commensal and pathogenic roles within the skin microbiome.
