Effects of pH on respiration, on aerobic glycolysis of spermatozoa, and on the calculated respiratory quotients were studied. The pH levels of the saline-phosphate diluents varied from 5 to 8. Aerobic fructolysis varied several fold, and directly with pH. The oxygen consumption of the cells was not markedly influenced by pH. However, a significant pH ejaculate interaction was found for each metabolic measure, except for the R. Q. values, of which a large part of the variance was associated with individual ejaculates.
