Rhizosphere and bulk soils were analyzed for physicochemical properties, microbial composition (16S rRNA, ITS sequencing), essential oils (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry), and arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization. Bacterial communities were dominated by the phyla Actinomycetota, Pseudomonadota, Acidobacteriota, Bacillota, and Chloroflexota, while fungal communities were primarily composed of Ascomycota, Mortierellomycota, Basidiomycota, and Rozellomycota. Rhizosphere soils exhibited higher fungal diversity than bulk soils, with Glomeromycota detected exclusively in rhizosphere. Microbial community composition differed significantly among\n                    <jats:italic>Mentha<\/jats:italic>\n                    taxa:\n                    <jats:italic>M. spicata<\/jats:italic>\n                    B17 displayed the lowest bacterial diversity, the most distinct microbial assemblages, and the highest arbuscular mycorrhiza colonization. Soil properties \u2013 particularly humus content, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium \u2013 were strongly correlated with bacterial diversity, while fungal communities showed weaker associations. Integration of essential oil data revealed genotype-dependent chemical profiles:\n                    <jats:italic>Mentha<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u00d7\u2009\n                    <jats:italic>villosa<\/jats:italic>\n                    B10 and\n                    <jats:italic>M. spicata<\/jats:italic>\n                    B17 were characterized by high proportions of L-carvone and limonene, whereas\n                    <jats:italic>M. suaveolens<\/jats:italic>\n                    J17 was dominated by cis-piperitone epoxide and piperitenone oxide.
