(A) This approach collects datatypes across domains to gain a full picture of the chemical activity and potential at mine sites. (B) In this project, these data types were integrated to generate large-scale data, from which discoveries can be made. (C) This microbial inventory can then be queried to identify candidates for biotechnology development and rich information to facilitate the growth of these candidates in the lab.</image:caption>
