This article presents aquatic wastewater treatment with the addition of probiotics. Due to the high salinity (5–10‰), the microorganisms are inactive because plasmolysis occurs in the presence of table salt, the contraction of the protoplasm away from the cell wall of the bacteria due to dehydration under the action of osmotic pressure, leading to gaps between the cells and the cell membranes.
