Students, instructors, and researchers at the Tiny Earth Chemistry Hub uses the Tiny Earth Database for accurate record keeping, comparisons to previous activity and results, and as records in publications. 

The Tiny Earth Database holds records of environmental samples, culture conditions, and inhibitory bacteria that have been isolated from all over the world and is critical for discovering new antibiotics. It standardizes record keeping and allows information to be shared with the entire Tiny Earth network, including the Tiny Earth Chemistry Hub. The public-facing side of the database is used for ecology research, classroom studies, and more as students search for discovery patterns and novel compounds.
