Mycoplasmas - Stealth Pathogens. By Leslie Taylor January, 2001. Mycoplasmas are a specific and unique species of bacteria - the smallest free-living organism known on the planet.

Definition of titanium. : a silvery-gray light strong metallic element obtained from ilmenite and rutile and used especially in alloys and combined in refractory materials, pigments, and coatings â see element table.
Titanium alone is a strong, light metal. It is stronger than common, low-carbon steels, but 45% lighter. It is also twice as strong as weak aluminium alloys but only 60% heavier. Titanium has outstanding corrosion resistance to sea water, and thus is used in propeller shafts, rigging and other parts of boats that are exposed to sea water.
