For elucidating the effect of salinity to the effect of wastewater treatment, the heterotrophic bacterial numbers, total bacterial numbers, and the bacterial community structure by FISH method were analyzed. The total bacterial numbers were not significantly changed by the salinity. But the heterotrophic bacterial numbers and bacterial community structures were drastically changed by the increase of salinity. In case of 1% salinity, the heterotrophic bacterial numbers and structure were slightly changed comparing to those of contol. In case of 2% and higher salinities, the numbers of heterotrophic bacteria and the proportions of Eubacteria, Proteobacteria $alpha$-group, $ ho$-group and Cytophaga-Flavobacterium groups were deceasing. By these results, the salinity stress to bacterial community in waste water treatment was unveiled, and for sustaining the waste water treatment system, the salinity should be lower than 1%.
