We studied the characteristics of the recovery process where the coccoid (Viable but non-culturable, VBNC) form Campylobacter jejuni which was inactivated under aerobic condition with lower temperature (4 and 25 C jejuni ATCC 43429 strain did not recovered from VBNC form to active spiral form at 4 and 25, whereas C jejuni ATCC 33291 strain recoveredfro VBNC form at 25 Morphology and the fatty acid pattern of cell membrane of VBNC C. jejuni ATCC 33291 and ATCC 43429 were analyzed. The morphological differences between two C jejuni strains were verified using flow cytometry. C16 0(palmiticacid) and C19 0(cyclic fatty acid) showed decrease in the fatty acid composition of C. jejuni ATCC 33291 On the other hand, C19 0 in the fatty acid composition of C jejuni ATCC 43429 was increased and C14:1(myristoleic acid) was found only in C jejuni ATCC 43429 The differences in the fatty acid composition of C jejuni could be possibly related with the recovery of VBNC form C jejuni
