The purpose of the study was to investigate the mechanism of inactivation of Serratia liquefaciens by different treatments, namely corona discharge plasma (CDP), ε-polylysine (ε-PL), and corona discharge plasma combined with ε-polylysine (CDP plus ε-PL). The results showed that the combined treatment of CDP and ε-PL exhibited significant antibacterial effects. The total number of colonies of S. liquefaciens dropped by 0.49 log CFU/mL following 4 min of CDP treatment, 4MIC ε-PL treatment for 6 h alone decreased the amounts of colonies by 2.11 log CFU/mL, and 6 h of treatment with 4MIC ε-PL after the bacterium was treated with CDP could decrease the number of colonies by 6.77 log CFU/mL. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the combined treatment of CDP and ε-PL caused the most serious damage to the cell morphology. Electrical conductivity, nucleic acid, and PI staining indicated that the combined treatment dramatically enhanced the permeability of the cell membrane. In addition, the combined treatment led to a significant decrease in SOD and POD enzyme activities in S. liquefaciens, which prevented energy metabolism. Finally, the determination of free and intracellular ε-PL concentrations confirmed that the treatment of CDP could cause the bacteria to bind more ε-PL and exert more significant bacterial inhibition. Therefore, CDP and ε-PL had a synergistic effect in the inhibition of S. liquefaciens.
