Synergistes jonesii

Synergistes jonesii is a species of bacteria, the type species of its genus. It is a rumen bacterium that degrades toxic pyridinediols including mimosine. It is obligately anaerobic, gram-negative and rod-shaped.[1][2] It was discovered in 1981 by Raymond J. Jones in Hawaii[2] and Jones' hypothesis was proven in 1986 by himself and R. G. Megarrity.[3]
