Bacteria growing on a petri dish can have more than one bacteria growing on it, but different characteristics can be seen like cilia, motility and color. To know more specifically what those other bacteria strains are, get a sample and grow it on agar by itself.

How can you tell if there is bacteria growing on something?

You don't have to even check. Everything on the planet is covered in bacteria. It may be growing, or just waiting for the right conditions for it to multiply. And even before you see anything like changes in color or oder, they have already multiplied into the thousands, and even millions. Unless it was just sterilized in a autoclave oven at the right temperature for the correct length of time, it already has bacteria that only time and available food supply that keep them from growing into what you can see or smell, but just remember, they are already everywhere. Technically, the only way to tell is by visual examination, and the only way to do that is with a microscope.
