This inhibition is restricted to bacterial translation because; the peptidyl transferase is an enzyme aminoacyltransferase as well as the primary enzymatic function of the ribosome, which forms peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids using tRNAs during the process of translation. Therefore, inhibition of this enzyme means that the process oof translation wont take place, hence proteins will not be formed and thus the bacteria will die.
Natural selection can cause speciation, which increases the biodiversity of an ecosystem. Several bacterial colonies are placed on a petri dish that contains agar with antibiotics. After 24 hours, ninety percent of the original bacteria die, but the remaining ten percent survive and later reproduce.
