Adaptation to alcoholic fermentation in Drosophila: a parallel selection imposed by environmental ethanol and acetic acid.

abstract：:Experiments were designed to determine the interrelationship between cyclic AMP and Ca(2+) during the processes of sperm capacitation and the acrosome reaction. In minimal culture media containing pyruvate and lactate as substrates, guinea pig spermatozoa required a minimum of 1.0-1.5 hr to capacitate in the presence ...
