Chocolate Agar Neisseria

Why neisseria grown in chocolate agar arather than blood agar?
whats the lack-ness of blood agar?
Chocolate agar is actually hemolyzed blood with some special nutrients added.
Note that many Neisseria spp. will grow on blood agar and do not require chocolate agar.
For chocolate agar, hemolyzing the red cells releases hemin and there are other factors (XV Factor) added to the agar as well. The additional materials are some hydrolyzed peptones, vitamins and nutrients.
Modified Thayer Martin media (a special type of chocolate agar) is another variant that includes special antibiotics to suppress growth of other organisms and promote the growth of N. gonorrhoeae.
BAP (blood agar plates) lack the specific nutrients necessary to support N.gonorrhoeae.
