=Bacteria Evolution=Cancelling Research==Bacteria evolution is The option to cancel the first research center available in appears if you click on the button with three vertical dots next to the gameresearch timer.

Each bacteria evolution Canceling a research type has a chance action will cause all the progress to go to discover one Level 1 waste and return the [[Evolved Bacteria|'''evolved bacteria'''Scientists]]. In case of unsuccessful evolution, to the player will earn regular [[Resources#Bacteria|bacteria]].

Only one type =Research Types=There are seven research types, all of bacteria evolution can be researched at a timewhich are unlocked by [[Xutrutis|Planet 9]], the only exception being [[Research#Bacteria Irradiation|Bacteria Irradiation]].

Mutation is instantaneous and it requires no scientists. However, after it is complete, the player has to clean the lab before it can be again used for mutations.
