First you will need to follow some standard laboratory processes.
Get some nutrient agar and Petri dishes and start some cultures.
Transfer some of the culture on a microscope slide.
Use the microscope to differentiate the two cultures.
You will either have to ask your instructor for some sample specimens to compare what you have with the control sample.
