I tried with Sabouraud Dextrose Agar with coconut oil as supplement keeping the temperature at 30 degrees and incubation time 6 days, but it did not showed good growth.
According to the publication in the attachment you can use 1% peptone and 4% maltose as carbon sources. Optimum growth temperature seems to be 37 °C instead of 30 °C.
Good luck with your experiments!
I do not know this yeast, but as Christian Scheckhuber suggested increasing the incubation temperature would help. For our Cryptococcus neophorman we use 32°C because it does not grow as wel at 37°C. So, you may try a range of temperatures to optimise the growth. Or, Google Malassezia furfur and temperature. There may be a research article that suggests a temperature.
Hope this helps.
Sabouraud Dextrose Broth supplemented with 1% Tween 80 or Dixon Agar and incubation at 32°C for 4-5 days
