nutrient Agar
Modified nutrient glucose agar is composed of agar, water, glucose, extracts, peptone and sodium chloride. Modified nutrient glucose agar allows organisms to grow.
nutrient agar is used generally for culturing any organism.But Muller hinton agar is specifically used for testing antibiotic sensitivity as it does not contain any inhibitory substances for the growh of the organism
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.
blood and chocolate agar plates as well as in universities laboratory Nutrient agar plates are also provided

Modified nutrient glucose agar is composed of agar, water, glucose, extracts, peptone and sodium chloride. Modified nutrient glucose agar allows organisms to grow.
Agar is generally made by mixing the powdered form with varying ingredients. The powder is based on seaweed extract for nutrient agar, and nutrient agar is generally a base for most other agars - eg. Horse Blood Agar is nutrient agar with horses blood added; Choc agar has defibrinated (cooked) horses blood added.
The components in the nutrient agar is enriching bacteria than fungi. fungus require additional nutrients which are formulated in fungal media. But in worst case, you can try either media for fungi or bacteria.

in order to maintain the ionic balance.....................
Differential media or selective media is an agar that has certain nutrient to grow certain microbes. Simple media is an agar that has simple sugars that many normal microbes thrive in.
blood and chocolate agar plates as well as in universities laboratory Nutrient agar plates are also provided
selective media isl ike enrichment media with the difference that inhibiting substance is added to solid medium, e.g. deoxycholate citrate medium which contains nutrient agar, sodium deoxycholate , sodium citrates lactose and neutral red.
yes, blood provide all essential nutrient for the growth of fastidious organism (org requiring more nutrient)
