The Thermoprotei is a class of the Crenarchaeota.^[1]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)^[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)^[3] and the phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 121 by The All-Species Living Tree Project.^[4]
