Clоstridium perfringens, cаusаtive аgent оf gas gangrene (resulting e.g. frоm shrapnel wounds) has an extraordinary doubling time of only about 8 to 10 minutes when in the human host. Consider that this species lacks a TCA cycle and obtains ATP via fermentation. Knowing what you do about metabolism, what is the most likely explanation for how C. perfringens is able to maintain such a rapid doubling time while infecting a human host?
