    I wonder if they could develop this into a tooth coating. Preventing biofilms would go a long way to preventing cavities.

    Clever, the bacteria gets lost in the maze and slowly goes insane and starves to death.

      Okay then, the labyrinthine structure spontaneously generates tiny minotaurs, which then consume the disease-causing miasma.
