The directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a lower concentration of environmental oxygen. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to environmental oxygen. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to an external stimulus. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to physical parameters involved in energy generation, such as light, oxygen, and oxidizable substrates. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism towards a higher concentration of environmental oxygen. The movement of a motile cell or organism in response to environmental oxygen on, within or near a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction. A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a chemical stimulus.
