Characterization of Gilliamella rrn operons, which seems to be highly conserved both in regards to genomic position and composition.

Characterization of Gilliamella energy metabolism capabilities, both in terms of substrate-level processes and respiration (i.e. ATP synthesis via the electron transport chain).

Characterization of metagenome-assembled genomes of six novel sponge-associated Acidimicrobiia symbionts, revealing some persistent capabilities likely reflecting similar colonization patterns, and abilities to mediate host processes.

Characterization of metagenome-assembled genomes of ten novel sponge-associated Gammaproteobacteria symbionts, revealing highly diverse metabolic pathways that likely allows for niche partitioning, including by species of the same genus co-habiting the same sponge host.

Characterization of metagenome-assembled genomes of five novel sponge-associated Acidobacteriota symbionts, revealing some persistent capabilities likely reflecting similar colonization patterns, and potentially significant conveyance of vital compounds (Vitamin Bs) to the host.
