Arsenic eating microbe/bacteria

If you mean bacteria that can utilize arsenic instead of phosphorous (GFAJ-1) then I have to tell you that they most likely don't. Finally LC-MS was done and it seems pretty much the end of the story (well, provided it gets published, so far the data is on arxiv and I was not able to get hands on samples myself).

 

If you talk about arsenic resistant and/or reducing bacteria, I would look at the ATCC. There are quite some collected there.
