Abstract: Iron-chelating molecules or siderophores play pivotal roles in soil ecosystems, particularly in facilitating plant iron uptake as well as the phytoremediation of metal-polluted environments. Lavandula dentata , commonly referred to as French Lavender, is a valuable species for siderophore production due to its ability to thrive in iron-deficient Mediterranean soils by forming symbiotic relationships with siderophore-producing rhizosphere microbes. Here, we used a Chrome Azurol S (CAS) overlay assay to isolate a yellow-pigmented L. dentata rhizosphere siderophore-producing bacterium. This isolate also demonstrated antibacterial and antifungal activities against Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus flavus, respectively. Genomic sequencing revealed that the isolate was Streptomyces sp. ADLamb9 with a genome size of 8.2 Mb and 71.77% GC content. antiSMASH analysis of the Streptomyces sp. ADLamb9 genome identified four putative siderophore biosynthetic gene clusters as well as the catecholate siderophore mirubactin. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) masses consistent with desferrioxamine B (561.3604 m/z ), IC202C (517.3342 m/z ), mirubactin (605.2207 m/z ), as well as previously unreported desferrioxamine A 1C . Notably, the presence of the rare earth element cerium differentially affected the accumulation of catecholate and hydroxamate siderophores, highlighting our incomplete understanding of the complex regulation and relationship between siderophore biosynthesis genes. These datasets, deposited at NCBI under the BioProject accession number PRJNA1224804, contribute to the broader scientific understanding of metabolite diversity and genomic features of Streptomyces sp. ADLamb9, providing insight into its use in bioremediation, especially in the presence of rare earth elements.
