Abstract
The goal of this project was to determine if skin characteristics, such as skin type and history of skin ailments, were correlated with the presence of lipid-dependent yeast. We focused on areas of human skin that have high-lipid concentrations, such as the forehead/hairline and nasal fold regions, to maximize the potential of growth.
Though this project drew from several published papers, the specific combination of sampling and isolation methods were unique. The research performed will provide an updated source for those seeking more information on human-associated lipophilic yeasts.
