The enzymatic generation of superoxide, the superoxide anion O2- (superoxide free radical), or any compound containing this species, by a cell in response to environmental stress, thereby mediating the activation of various stress-inducible signaling pathways. The chemical reactions and pathways involving dioxygen (O2), or any of the reactive oxygen species, e.g. superoxide anions (O2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl radicals (-OH). The chemical reactions and pathways involving superoxide, the superoxide anion O2- (superoxide free radical), or any compound containing this species. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of enzymatic generation of superoxide by a cell. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of enzymatic generation of superoxide by a cell. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of enzymatic generation of superoxide by a cell.
