Enrichment and selective cultures play vital roles in microbiology by helping researchers focus on specific microorganisms. Enrichment culture is designed to favor the growth of desired organisms, providing conditions that enhance their proliferation. In contrast, selective culture aims to inhibit the growth of non-target species, allowing scientists to isolate and study specific types of microorganisms effectively. These techniques are crucial for better understanding microbial diversity and for applications in research and industry.

Enrichment and selective cultures are used to study specific microorganisms; they do this through different mechanisms and with different goals in mind.
Enrichment culture promotes the growth of organisms, while selective culture restricts the growth of others to isolate specific types.
