No, not all bacteria grow on nutrient agar. Nutrient agar is considered one of the least selective agars but some bacteria are fastideous in their growth requirments. Microbiologists have gone to great lengths to get some bacteria to grow in the lab including using nine-banded armadillo foot pads to grow the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae which causes leprosy.

Suppose you have two organisms in a mixture and organism A is 1000 times more abundant than organism B Will you be able to isolate organism B using the spread plate technique?

It may be challenging to isolate organism B using the spread plate technique if organism A is 1000 times more abundant, as it could outcompete organism B when plated on agar. To isolate organism B effectively, you may need to dilute the sample to reduce the predominance of organism A before plating it on the agar.

What would be found in the clear area the would not be found in the blue area of a starch agar plate after the addition of iodine?

Another organism on the starch agar plate breaks down the starch into smaller sugars, and the starch intolerant organism in turn competes for the smaller sugars. As a result, you will see colonies of the starch user pop up first, and then smaller satellite colonies of the dependant organism will form around them.
