Metabolism
Synergistes jonesii is a chemoorganotroph which relies on organic chemicals for its source of energy and carbon. Because S. jonesii is strictly anaerobic, the primary metabolic pathway of this microbe is fermentation. Pyridinediols, arginine, and histidine are fermented by the microbe for energy and carbon.

Ecology
The only known habitat for Synergistes jonesii is within the rumen. This microbe was first isolated from the rumen of a goat in Hawaii and has since been found in the rumen of cattle. S. jonesii is not a common microbe is ruminant populations, but some geographic distributions have been shown.
