Pseudomonas teessidea is a species of Pseudomonas bacteria{{cite journal|title=Production of rhamnolipid biosurfactants by Pseudomonas aeruginosa DS10-129 in a microfluidic bioreactor|first1=Pattanathu K.

The specific epithet teessidea was given by a microbiologist at Teesside University.{{cite web|url=http://www.tees.ac.uk/sections/research/science_engineering/staff_profile_details.cfm?staffprofileid=U0020301|title=Teesside University - Science & Engineering research - Members|first=Teesside|last=University|website=www.tees.ac.uk|access-date=25 May 2018}} This bacterium has unique properties developed in response to the contaminated soil from which it comes. It produces rhamnolipids, which are biosurfactants which detoxify oil and chemicals contaminants in the ground.{{Cite journal|last1=(Elinor)|first1=Morgan, E.|last2=(Bella)|first2=Adam, B.|last3=(Alix)|first3=Collingwood-Swinburn, A.|last4=(Pattanathu)|first4=Rahman, P.

Pseudomonas teessidea has been isolated from Ekoln, lake Mälaren, in Sweden.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ibg.uu.se/digitalAssets/167/c_167884-l_3-k_canelhas-ricao-monica-report.pdf|title=The biocontrol potential of lytic bacteria against cyanobacterial blooms (2011)|last=Monica Ricão Canelhas}}
