According to the Oikos site:

The primary microorganisms responsible for composting are bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi. However, algae, mixomycetes (slime molds), viruses, lichens and mycoplasmas are other organisms present in the compost process. Soil animals, such as protozoa, amoeba, nematodes, earthworms and arthropods, also perform major roles by degrading surface litter, consuming bacteria and assisting in aeration.

hope that helped
