Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogenic bacterium, which can cause serious food public health security problems.The antimicrobial peptide PNMGL2 from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum has obvious inhibition on the foodborne pathogenic bacteria, but its antibacterial mechanism is unclear.Time-kill assays showed that PNMGL2 could effectively inhibit the growth of L.monocytogenes.The propidium iodide (PI) uptake and release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) experiments suggested that PNMGL2 could damage the integrity of cell membrane of L.monocytogenes.Furthermore, observation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM) indicated that PNMGL2 induced visual cell damage, promoted the formation of pores, destroyed the integrity of cell membrane, increased the permeability of membrane, and triggered leakage of intracellular substances (phosphorus, potassium, ATP, proteins, and nucleic acids).In addition, PNMGL2 could inhibit biofilm formation of L.monocytogenes and hemolytic activity of exotoxins.This study preliminarily elucidated the antibacterial mechanism of PNMGL2 against L.monocytogenes, providing a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of PNMGL2 as a new food antimicrobial agent.
