Scientists Sequenced Dandruff’s Genes

Dandruff’s real cause lies in a yeast-like fungus, Malassezia Globosa that lives on the scalp in millions and feeds on the oily products of sebaceous glands. It causes dandruff and a range of other skin conditions.

Scientists have decoded the DNA of fungus that could provide clues to how to combat it effectively. A team of scientists involved work for Procter & Gamble, manufacturers of Head & Shoulders, an anti-dandruff shampoo.
