The Thermomicrobia are a group of thermophilic green non-sulfur bacteria. Until 2004 they were classified as a distinct phylum. It has recently been proposed on the basis of an analysis of genetic affiliations that the Thermomicrobia should more properly be reclassified as a class belonging to the phylum chloroflexi. The bacteria Sphaerobacter thermophilus originally described as an Actinobacteria is now considered a Thermomicrobia.
