The Thermomicrobia is a group of thermophilic green non-sulfur bacteria. Based on species Thermomicrobium roseum and Sphaerobacter thermophilus, this bacteria class has the following description:
The Chloroflexota are a phylum of bacteria containing isolates with a diversity of phenotypes, including members that are aerobic thermophiles, which use oxygen and grow well in high temperatures; anoxygenic phototrophs, which use light for photosynthesis ; and anaerobic halorespirers, which uses halogenated organics as electron acceptors.
Bacterial phyla constitute the major lineages of the domain Bacteria. While the exact definition of a bacterial phylum is debated, a popular definition is that a bacterial phylum is a monophyletic lineage of bacteria whose 16S rRNA genes share a pairwise sequence identity of ~75% or less with those of the members of other bacterial phyla.
Anaerolinea thermophila is a species of filamentous thermophilic bacteria, the type and only species of its genus. It is Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, with type strain UNI-1T.
Caldilinea aerophila is a species of filamentous thermophilic bacteria, and the type species of its genus. It is Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, with type strain STL-6-O1T.
Anaerolinea thermolimosa is a thermophilic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative, filamentous bacteria with type strain IMO-1T.
Levilinea saccharolytica is a mesophilic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative, filamentous bacteria with type strain KIBI-1T, the type species of its genus.
Leptolinea tardivitalis is a mesophilic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative, filamentous bacteria with type strain YMTK-2T, the type species of its genus.
Pelotomaculum is a Gram-positive strictly anaerobic, mesophilic, thermophilic and non-motile bacterial genus from the family of Peptococcaceae.
Syntrophothermus is a bacterial genus from the family of Syntrophomonadaceae. Up to now there is only on species of this genus known.
Anaerolinea is a bacterial genus from the family of Anaerolineaceae.
Tepidanaerobacter is a genus of anaerobic, moderately thermophilic, syntrophic bacteria from the family Tepidanaerobacteraceae.
Bellilinea is a thermophilic bacteria genus from the family of Anaerolineaceae with one known species. Bellilinea caldifistulae has been isolated from thermophilic digester sludge from Niigata in Japan.
Flexilinea is a bacterial genus from the family of Anaerolineaceae with one known species. Flexilinea flocculi has been isolated from methanogenic granular sludge.
Leptolinea is a bacteria genus from the family of Anaerolineaceae with one known species.
Levilinea is a bacteria genus from the family of Anaerolineaceae with one known species.
Longilinea is a bacteria genus from the family of Anaerolineaceae with one known species.

Lactivibrio is a genus of bacteria from the family of Synergistaceae with one known species. Lactivibrio alcoholicus has been isolated from mesophilic granular sludge from Tokyo in Japan.
Modulibacteria(Moduliflexota) is a bacterial phylum formerly known as KS3B3 or GN06. It is a candidate phylum, meaning there are no cultured representatives of this group. Members of the Modulibacteria phylum are known to cause fatal filament overgrowth (bulking) in high-rate industrial anaerobic wastewater treatment bioreactors.
