The Thermomicrobia are a group of thermophilic green non-sulfur bacteria. Until 2004, they were classified as a distinct phylum.[1] It has recently been proposed, on the basis of an analysis of genetic affilations, that the thermomicrobia should more properly be reclassified as a class belonging to the phylum chloroflexi.[2]
