  abstract = {{S}ulfolobus solfataricus {P}2 was grown aerobically at various {O}-2 concentrations. {B}ased on growth parameters in microcosms, four types of behavior could be distinguished. {A}t 35% {O}-2 (v/v; gas phase), the cultures did not grow, indicating a lethal dose of oxygen. {F}or 26-32% {O}-2, the growth was significantly affected compared with the reference (21%), suggesting a moderate toxicity by {O}-2. {F}or 16-24% {O}-2, standard growth was observed. {F}or 1.5-15% {O}-2, growth was comparable with the reference, but the yield on {O}-2 indicated a more efficient use of oxygen. {T}hese results indicate that {S}. solfataricus {P}2 grows optimally in the range of 1.5-24% {O}-2, most likely by adjusting its energy-transducing machinery. {T}o gain some insight into control of the respiratory system, transcriptomes of the strain cultivated at different {O}-2 concentrations, corresponding to each behavior (1.5%, 21% and 26%), were compared using a {DNA} microarray approach. {I}t showed differential expression of several genes encoding terminal oxidases, indicating an adaptation of the strain's respiratory system in response to fluctuating oxygen concentrations.},
