Organisms that do not use starch grows on a starch agar plate by using other organisms. The other organisms break down the starch into sugar and the starch intolerant organisms can complete those simple sugars.

What organisms can be differentiated using a Starch Agar plate?

There is no organisms that is completely composed of starch. The closest thing I can think of is Arthropods (insects, millipedes, and centipedes) that are covered by a compound similar chemically to starch called chitin. Hope i helped you enough!:)

Why is it important to first determine whether growth occurred in a differential medium such as a starch agar before examining the plate for starch hydrolysis?

I do not know precisely what this is used for but starch agar is usually used to test whether the cultured cells produce amylase. In a teaching-experiment setting if no growth occurred then there really is no point to check whether the cells produced amylase or not since they probably didn't survive, and dead cells don't produce amylase. Any hydrolysis detected with iodine solution would be caused by stray enzymes such as those in a drop of saliva.i dont know go find out

Why agar plates inverted during the incubation period?

Bacteria love to grow in moist damp places - if you haven't noticed, condensation causes water droplets to form on the top of the lid and if you incubated the plate with lid on top when the water runs down the sides of the plate it can easily contaminate your culture.
