Dissolved oxygen in growth medium at low pressures

I am interested in getting some information on dissolved oxygen water at low pressures on the order of 10000 microns or about 0.042 inches of Hg. I have seen discussions such as thread 135-118498 where Henry's law is applied at pressures above atm, and am wondering if the relationship is linear at such low pressures. I am also interested if any one has some comments about the solubility of oxygen in bacterial growth medium in general, regarding the effects of dissolved salts/ solids on solubility.
