French term or phrase: marquage
Hi,

In terms of the results of a microbiological analysis, can anyone help with the term marquage? The sentence is:

Absence de marquage en flore totale, levures et moisissures

Thanks.

Because microbial cytoplasm is usually transparent, it is necessary to stain microorganisms before they can be viewed with the light microscope. In some cases, staining is unnecessary, for example when microorganisms are very large or when motility is to be studied, and a drop of the microorganisms can be placed directly on the slide and observed.

Dumont et col.[1] ont décrit une nouvelle technique pour marquer spécifiquement les membranes de bactéries Gram négative cultivables, via la click chemistry, par l’assimilation d’un analogue azide du Kdo (Kdo-N3), un composé essentiel du lipopolisaccharide.

Labeling or signal


Explanation:
In biology you usually track molecules (RNA, DNA, proteins, etc) by labeling them with dyes or (in old school labs) radioisotopes

Une absence de marquage means no detectable signal or no labeling.
