  • Title: D(--)-lactic acid and d(--)-lactate dehydrohgenase in octopus spermatozoa.
    Author: Mann T, Martin AW, Thiersch JB, Lutwak-Mann C, Brooks DE, Jones R.
    Journal: Science; 1974 Aug 02; 185(4149):453-4. PubMed ID: 4366789.
    Abstract:
    The spermatozoa of Octopus dofleini martini produce anaerobically D(-)-lactic acid and possess a very active D(-)-lactate dehydrogenase. In this respect, while resembling certain microorganisms, they differ strikingly from mammalian spermatozoa which produce L(+)-lactic acid and contain L(+)-lactate dehydrogenase.
