The Wright Actinomycete Collection is a collection of predominantly actinomycete strains (there
are some non-actinomycetes and some fungi), mainly isolated from soil samples gathered
from around the world. The Wright Lab uses this library to mine for chemical matter to combat antibiotic resistance.
