1-Í- Inoculate and Incubate incubate plate Species of interest multiplies, whereas others cannot. Enriched sample is plated onto appropriate agar medium. A pure culture is obtained by selecting a single colony of the species of interest. Medium contains nutrients that few species other than the one of interest can use. Sample that contains a variety of species, including the one of interest, is added to the medium. FIGURE 4.14 Enrichment Culture Medium and incubation conditions favor growth of the desired species over other microorganisms in the same sample.
