    Penicillin.

    Explanation:

    Translation may be defined as the process of formation of protein product from the RNA molecule. The process of translation occur in the cytosol of the cell.

    The process of translation may be inhibited by specific antibiotics at specific stages of translation. Penicillin does not inhibit translation. The mode of penicillin is to disrupt the bacterial cell wall synthesis.
