snotit
Explanation:
snotit/snotiti
Mislim da bi trebalo ovako "prevesti" nema referenci na SR, ja bih eventualno dodala kratko objašnjenje ukoliko za to ima mogućnosti.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snottite
Snottites are colonies of single-celled extremophilic bacteria which hang from the walls and ceilings of caves and are similar to small stalactites, but have the consistency of "snot", a slang word for nasal mucus.
(snot = slina/bala, pa bi kada bismo baš hteli to doslovno da prevedemo to bilo slinatit/balatit :-) )

To su zapravo kolonije jednoćelijskih ekstremofilnih (sumporno-zavisnih) bakterija koje vise sa plafona i zidova pećina i izgledom podsećaju na stalaktite (koji su mineralnog porekla) ali im je konsistencija, kao što im ime kaže, kao "snot".

Čak i u ovom tekstu u kome se govori o ekstremofilnim organizmima (ekstremofilima) taj pojam se ne spominje:
http://static.astronomija.co.rs/nauke/biologija/Ekstremofili...
Moramo ovde spomenuti stanovnike sumpornih izvora, podvodnih i nadzemnih, takozvane sumporno-zavisne bakterije koje uživaju u okruženjima koja bi za većinu živih bića bila smrtonosna.

Although it resembles a mineral name, this is really a semi-serious term invented in 1986 and used by microbiologists, geologists and cave explorers for organic speleothems - bacterial stalactites and biofilms that excrete sulphuric acid, pH 1 to 0, and play a big role in cave formation, especially in volcanic environments where native sulphur or pyrite are present, but also in limestone caves where a source of sulphur or hydrogen sulphide is present (eg: from gypsum or hydrocarbons), and as a post-mining growth in deep wet mines. Snottites can be composed of anywhere from ten to over 1,000 species of microbes, and may contain native sulphur and gypsum crystals too.
Znači polu-ozbiljan izraz (ili polu-šaljivi). :-)

Mexique Cueva de Villa Luz est également présenté, avec son ruisseau qui coule de l'acide sulfurique et de formations snottite fait de bactéries vivantes. Une espèce de poisson, la taupe molly, s'est adapté à cet habitat.

Holandski:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snottiet
Snottieten zijn kolonies van eencellige extremofiele bacteriën die in slijmerige draden aan de muren en plafonds van grotten hangen. Ze lijken op stalactieten, maar hebben een slijmerige in plaats van vaste consistentie.

I da, ovo je pitanje spada u biologiju, ne u geologiju. :-)
