In this work we evaluated the mode of action of six new synthesized peptides (Met-Asp-Asn; Glu-leu-Ala-Ala-Ala-Cys; Leu-Arg-Asp-Asp-Phe; Gly-Asn-Ala-Pro-Gly-Ala-Val-Ala; Ala-Leu-Arg-Met-Ser-Gly and Arg-Asp-Arg-Phe–Leu), previously identified, from the most active peptide fractions of RuBisCO peptic hydrolysate against Listeria innocua via a membrane damage mechanism. Antibacterial effect and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of these peptides were evaluated against six strains and their hemolytic activities towards bovine erythrocytes were determined. Prediction of the secondary structure of peptides indicated that these new antibacterial peptides are characterized by a short peptide chains (3–8 amino acid) and a random coli structure. Moreover, it was observed that one key characteristic of antibacterial peptides is the presence of specific amino acids such as cysteine, glycine, arginine and aspartic acid. In addition the determination of the extracellular potassium concentration revealed that treatment with pure RuBisCO peptides could cause morphological changes of L. innocua and destruction of the cell integrity via irreversible membrane damage. The results could provide information for investigating the antibacterial model of antibacterial peptides derived from RuBisCO protein hydrolysates.
