In 1987, Carl Woese, regarded as the forerunner of the molecular phylogeny revolution, divided Eubacteria into 11 divisions based on 16S ribosomal RNA (SSU) sequences and grouped the genera "Chloroflexus", "Herpetosiphon" and "Thermomicrobium" into the "Green non-sulfur bacteria and relatives", which was temporarily renamed as "Chloroflexi" in Volume
