Bio Term Enrichment is A condition which increases the proportion of a particular organism or mutant strain from a mixed population. For example, a penicillin enrichment kills growing cells and allows mutants unable to grow under a particular condition to survive; however, for each round of penicillin enrichment typically only 1% of the growing cells are killed, thus each round of enrichment increases the mutant ratio about 100-fold. Compare with selection.
