Enrichment culture and selective culture are both methods used to isolate specific microorganisms, but they serve different purposes. An enrichment culture enhances the growth of desired microbes by providing favorable conditions, often encouraging the proliferation of certain species while others may still grow. In contrast, a selective culture contains inhibitors that prevent the growth of unwanted microbes, allowing only the target organism to thrive. Thus, enrichment focuses on promoting growth, while selective culture emphasizes isolating specific organisms by inhibiting others.
