Yes, yeast can grow on LB agar since it is a nutrient-rich media commonly used for bacterial growth. However, LB agar is not the optimal medium for yeast growth, as yeast prefer media containing sugars or other carbon sources like YPD agar.

Yeast extract is a flavorful paste made from yeast cells that have been broken down with salt and then concentrated. It is commonly used as a flavor enhancer in various food products due to its rich umami taste profile. Yeast extract is often used as a vegetarian or vegan alternative to meat-based flavorings like beef or chicken broth.
Yeast require energy to grow and divide its cells, therefore yeast grows best in sugar solution.
Agar is a gelatinous substance used as a culture medium in laboratories for the growth of microorganisms. It provides a solid surface for microorganisms to grow on and allows for the observation and study of colony morphology.
Mannitol is the ingredient that supplies carbon in Mannitol Salt Agar.
Microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, and molds can grow on malt agar. It is commonly used for cultivating fungi and yeast due to the high carbohydrate content from malt extract, which provides nutrients for their growth. Additionally, some bacteria, particularly those that can utilize carbohydrates, can also thrive on malt agar.
Yeast extract is used as a foodsource for growing bacterial and fungal cultures (and also for humans.) Yeast extract has most or all of the vitamins and minerals that cells need to grow and to multiply. For human comsumption, yeast extract is mixed with herbs and spices and used as a sandwich spread. 'Vegemite' is a popular brand of yeast extract in Australia.

Use selective media agar plates. Different types of agar will let bacteria grow and inhibit fungal growth, or vice versa.
Adding warm water will expand yeast cells rapidly
You would expect the organism to grow better on nutrient agar because it is a general-purpose medium that supports the growth of a wide range of organisms. MacConkey agar, on the other hand, contains inhibitors that selectively inhibit the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, so the organism may not grow as well on this medium.
