Nomenclatural History	The species Thermobacillus composti was originally described and validly published by Watanabe et al. 2007. The nomenclatural type of the genus is based upon a patent strain and is therefore illegitimate. Consequently, the genus and therefore this species are also illegitimate until a publicly available deposit is made available for the type species.
