Climate change models predict more frequent and prolonged drought events in Central Europe, which will exert extraordinary pressure on agroecosystems. One of the consequences is drought-related nutrient limitations for crops negatively affecting agricultural productivity. These effects can be mitigated by beneficial plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. In this study, we investigated the potential of cultivable bacterial species for phosphate solubilization in the rhizosphere of winter wheat at two relevant growth stages - stem elongation and grain filling stages. Rhizosphere samples were collected in the Global Change Experimental Facility in Central Germany, which comprises plots with conventional and organic farming systems under ambient and future climate. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria were selectively isolated on Pikovskaya medium, phylogenetically classified by  16S rRNA  sequencing, and tested for  in vitro  mineral phosphate solubilization and drought tolerance using plate assays. The culture isolates were dominated by members of the genera  Phyllobacterium, Pseudomonas  and  Streptomyces.  Cultivation-derived species richness and abundance of dominant taxa, especially within the genera  Phyllobacterium  and  Pseudomonas , as well as composition of  Pseudomonas  species were affected by wheat growth stage.  Pseudomonas  was found to be more abundant at stem elongation than at grain filling, while for  Phyllobacterium  the opposite pattern was observed. The abundance of  Streptomyces  isolates remained stable throughout the studied growth stages. The temporal shifts in the cultivable fraction of the community along with considerable P solubilization potentials of  Phyllobacterium  and  Pseudomonas  species suggest functional redundancy between and among genera at different wheat growth stages. Phosphate-solubilizing  Phyllobacterium  species were assigned to  Phyllobacterium ifriqiyense  and  Phyllobacterium sophorae.  It is the first time that phosphate solubilization potential is described for these species. Since  Phyllobacterium  species showed the highest drought tolerance along all isolates, they may play an increasingly important role in phosphate solubilization in a future dryer climate.
