Glossary entry (derived from question below)
German term or phrase:
Kontaktkultur
English translation:
contact plate technique
German term
Kontaktkultur
This is a text about substantiating microbiological growth on the surfaces, by taking a culture.
What would be the proper term for this in English?
I have my doubts about "contact culture", since its not in Wenske and cannot be found in this context on Google.

contact inhibition
Inhibition of cell membrane ruffling and cell motility when cells are in complete contact with other adjacent cells, as in a confluent culture. Often precedes cessation of cell proliferation but not necessarily causally related.
