Blood Agar, and trypticase soy agar grows semi fastidious
blood agar
Bacteria will grow in blood but no the growing medium in petri dishes should be clear agar.
No because fastidious organisms, or organisms that have highly elaborate and specific nutritional needs, do not grow on a general purpose medium because they require the addition of one or more growth-supporting substances, enrichments such as additional plant or animal extracts, vitamins, or blood.
Potato dextrose agar is the most commonly used medium for growing fungi and bacteria. It is used for the cultivation of yeast and molds.
Agar is a semi solid medium used to grow bacteria.
Nutrient agar is a general purpose medium supporting growth of a wide range of non-fastidious organisms. Most any bacteria will grow on it.An example of a fastidious organism is Neisseria gonorrhea, which requires blood or hemoglobin and several amino acids and vitamins in order to grow.
An enriched medium
because fastidious organisms require specific nutrients that can not be supplied to them in the chemically defined medium therfore dont grow as well
Bacteria will grow in blood but no the growing medium in petri dishes should be clear agar.
Assume you are growing bacteria on a lipid medium that started at pH 7. The action of bacterial lipases should cause the pH of the medium to increase or decrease? Why?
the bacteria comes in contact with nurturing, growing medium like mucus or saliva
Angelina Fanny Hesse made the isolation of bacteria possible by suggesting the use of agar-agar. In the early 1880's Hitchens and Leikind suggested that 'plain agar' be referred to as 'Frau Hesse's medium' to acknowledge her forgotten 'service to science and to humanity.' Perhaps it's finally time that we remember Frau Hesse and celebrate all the ignored 'bead collectors' working in the laboratories and kitchens that make science possible.Agar is actually an inert but great medium for growing microorganisms. It will grow the largest number of different types of microbes - fungi and bacteria. Agar is a general purpose medium supporting growth of a wide range of non-fastidious organisms.Yet, not all bacteria can grow on it. Some find it too rich, and others find it deficient. An example of a fastidious organism is Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which requires blood or hemoglobin and several amino acids and vitamins in order to grow.You would then know that the organism you are looking at can't be gonorrhea since it didn't grow.

you can catch bacteria by not coughing and sneezing into a hankie.
Any bacteria with right nutrient in vitro can be cultured. This method is very useful when carrying out any experiment. As long as nutrient medium is maintained bacteria will grow with no problems in a petri dish.
the bacteria may not like that medium
selective medium
Blood agar is enriched medium which are complex media to which an extra nutrient source (such as blood in this case) is added to encourage the growth of fastidious heterotrophs.
