Popis: Earthworms have long been used as traditional medicine. The purposes of this research were to create bioactive peptides from the unique Amynthas arenulus earthworm (PAAEs) and test their potentials on liver cancer bioprophylactic activity, antioxidant, oxidative stress protection, and immune cell activation. This earthworm had a high protein content ratio, at 55.39%. Besides, PM 35 is one out of 58 bacteria isolated from the earthworm carcasses that exhibited the highest protease and yield protein production which was chosen as the protease-producing bacteria to hydrolyze the protein. The genera were identified by 16S rRNA and 16S–23S rRNA comparison and confirmed as Bacillus velezensis PM 35. The response surface methodology was applied to optimize these hydrolysis parameters, i.e., the enzyme/substrate (E/S) concentration ratio [1%–3% (v/v)] and time (1–3 h) of the hydrolyzing earthworm’s proteins. The optimal hydrolyzing conditions were 3% (v/v) of E/S concentration ratio and 3 h of hydrolysis time, which found protein-hydrolysate yield (24.62%) and degree of hydrolysis (85.45%) as the highest. After being challenged in the gastrointestinal tract-resistant model, these PAAEs (MW
