Five prokaryote species (labeled A-E) have been sequenced.Below are the findings of the genes they contain.(Note: "x" denotes the species possessing a functional copy of the gene.) Gene 1 is essential for the synthesis of several amino acids.Gene 2 encodes a protein involved in strengthening the cell wall.The functions of the other genes are currently unknown. Which species would most likely have difficulty growing on a growth medium composed simply of a sugar as a carbon source?
