To explore the beneficial microbial resources in the rhizosphere of degraded grassland plants, this study used the rhizosphere soils of six dominant plants-Leymus chinensis, Chenopodium album , Pteridium aquilinum , Daurophyllum chinense, Microstegium vimineum , and Stipa grandis -from a typical degraded grassland in Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia as samples. Through dilution plating, the rhizosphere bacteria were isolated and purified, and their rhizosphere-promoting characteristics were systematically evaluated. A total of 16 bacterial strains were isolated, among which 12 strains had two or more rhizosphere-promoting functions. Functional analysis showed that 7 strains had nitrogen fixation ability, 10 strains had potassium solubilization ability, 6 strains had 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC) deamination enzyme activity, 3 strains had iron carrier production ability, 2 strains had indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production ability, and 6 strains had fungal antagonism ability. Three multi-functional bacterial strains Y5, C1 and X1 with good environmental adaptability and multiple rhizosphere-promoting potential were selected. Y5, C1 and X1 were identified by 16S rRNA molecular analysis and showed the highest homology similarity with Arthrobacter globiformis (KY649415. 1) , Brevibacterium frigoritolerans (KC355256. 1) , and Bacillus subtilis (MH373533. 1) , respectively, and had the potential for degraded grassland ecological restoration and microbial fertilizer development. This study provided new evidence for the interaction mechanism between degraded grassland plants and microorganisms and offered excellent bacterial strain resources for the sustainable recovery of grassland ecosystems.
