In this study the effect of seed microbiolization with facultative extremophile bacteria (Bacillus sp. and Enterobacter sp.), isolated in previous work, from extreme conditions of pH and NaCl and able to increase eucalyptus phytomass, on seed germinability of . Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake was evaluated. Mean germination time, speed of germination and coefficient of speed germination were measured to evaluate germinability. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design including 11 treatments (five strains of Bacillus sp., five of Enterobacter sp. and one control without bacteria), formed by 8 replicates with 25 seeds each. The results showed that Bacillus sp. strains UnB 1366 and UnB 1374 significantly reduced the lower mean germination time and higher coefficients and speed of germination in relation to the other strains.
