Pili allow dominant marine cyanobacteria to avoid sinking and evade predation

It was thought that marine cyanobacteria drifted randomly in the water column. Here the authors show that one in four picocyanobacteria encode a type IV pilus which allows these organisms to increase drag and retain optimal positions in the water column, as well as evade predation by grazers.
