Answer 1

A. tumerfaciens is a pretty common bacterium that can be found at just about any university with a botany program.  My guess is that the university itself will not give or sell it to you, but they can at least give you the information on where they obtain it from.

Answer 2

This is a very common bacteria in molecular science so you can get it commercially.  You can buy it on line from any company which sell it.  This is one of the example: http://www.sciencestuff.com/prod/5Ls-Liv...
