This study was conducted to establish the optimized growth parameters of Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila MYS2, rhizosphere bacterium isolated from brass industry effluent contaminated soil. Bacterium was enriched in increasing concentration of copper sulphate from 50-600mg/L. Optimization of growth parameters was carried out with response surface methodology. Significance of the quadratic model is revealed by high R-Squared (0.9610) low P (<0.0001) and F value (44.85). Results revealed optimum
