Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sergei Winogradsky grew lithotrophs using an enrichment culture technique. This involves placing the bacteria in a selective growth medium that encourages the growth of only the desired microbes without interference from other organisms. In Winogradsky's case, he used a medium containing sulfur compounds, which was conducive to the growth of lithotrophs that use inorganic compounds as their energy source.
