A group of four mutant E. coli bacteria (A, B, C, and D) was studied for their ability to produce a certain enzyme. The mutants are known to result from point mutations. A new mutant, designated E, fails to complement mutant B. Wild-type recombinants form between mutant E and mutants A, C, and D. Which of the following statement is correct regarding E?
