I would like to go for mode of action studies for bio active compounds from plant source, for that it will be helpful if i get some studies involving methods other than, identification of membrane disruption against bacterial test pathogens.

Good luck
You can try to do macromolecular labeling to determine whether your compound hits any of the macromolecule biosynthesis, such as DNA, RNA, protein, cell wall, and lipid pathways. It's based on incorporation of radiolabeled precursors. Expression profiling can also be performed and compared to that of drugs with known mechanism of action. Isolation fo resistant mutants can also identify a direct target.
