subdivision =The Thermomicrobia are a group of
thermophilic green non-sulfurbacteria . Until 2004, they were classified as a distinct phylum. [cite book |last =Garrity|first= G. M. | coauthors=Holt, J. G. |year =2001| chapter=Phylum BVII.

M.|address=New York |publisher=Springer] 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 phylumchloroflexi .
