Use the following to answer questions :
Suppose that a wild-type bacterium can synthesize substance D,but various mutant strains cannot.We know that substance D is synthesized from substance X in a pathway that involves three intermediate substances (A,B,and C) ,but we do not know the order of the steps in the pathway.Below is a table of four different mutant strains that have been tested for their ability to grow on the various substances.The plus sign means that the strain can grow on that substance;the negative sign means that the strain cannot grow on that substance.
