Malassezia caprae is a fungus first isolated in goats, which can cause opportunistic infections in animals.[1] Its type strain is MA383=CBS 10434. This species will not grow without any lipid supplementation. It grows slowly and forms small colonies (average diameter 1 millimetre (0.039 in)). In the lab, colonies will not grow at temperatures of 40 °C, differing from M. sympodialis-related species, such M. dermatis and M. nana, which can grow at this temperature. Malassezia caprae cells are ellipsoidal to subglobose.
