looking for bacterial cultures

[Roger Wise]

Hi everyone,

A postdoc in my lab is looking for some bacteria pathogens with which to
infect barley seedlings.

"The bacteria I would like to try are Xanthamonas campestris pv. translucens
(bacterial leaf blight) and Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (bacterial
leaf streak).  It should not be difficult to infect barley seedlings with
these pathogens, but you might also want to ask for a lab protocol for
inoculation."

Can anybody help us out?
