Yes, you can obtain a monthly updated count of the number of organisms represented in GenBank at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Taxresources/taxaJan0197.html. This page presents a table giving the total GenBank species count for each year since 1995. The table also gives yearly subtotals for Viruses, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota.
