Mr Hussam Adeni.
I must disagree with a small part of your argument, regarding the size of
bacteria, i must quote:
Bacteria range in size from 0.2­2 microns in width or diameter, and up to 1­10
microns in length for the nonspherical species. The largest known bacterium is
Thiomargarita namibiensis, with spheroidal diameters from 100­750 microns.
Spherical bacteria as small as 50­500 nm in diameter have been reported.

On the other hand, the info about the improvements on lubrication that boron
gives, is really interesting, as a matter of fact i remember an article that
appeared on Journal of tribology "A Pin­on­Disk Experimental Study
on a Green Particulate­Fluid Lubricant" october 2008 and other one at Tribology
an lubrication technology "Boron based ionic compounds" May 2009.
Both of them, really interesting.
