of a suitable concentration of fluoride, one can abolish both motil- 

 ity and fructolysis in ram spermatozoa without greatly suppressing 

 the respiration (Mann and Lutwak-Mann, 1948) (Fig. 9). Another 

 example is provided by the response of ram sperm to succinate. 

 Thus, whereas the oxygen consumption of intact ram spermatozoa 

 is not enhanced markedly by the addition of succinate, sperm cells 

 treated with spermicidal detergents such as cetyltrimethylammonium 

 bromide, 2-phenoxyethanol, sodium dodecylsulphate and similar 

 surface-active agents, show in the presence of succinate a high rate 

 of oxygen uptake although of course, the motility and the fructolysis 

 have been completely abolished (Koefoed-Johnsen and Mann, 1954). 

 The effect of fluoride on fructolysis is due chiefly to the inhibition 

 of enolase; the addition of pyruvate to fluoride-treated spermatozoa
