BPS stands for '''bacteria per second'''.
=Idle BPS=
[[File:Idle bonus.png|thumb|200px|The yellow bacteria indicate that the {{idle BPS bonus is active]]Some BPS modifiers provide a boost to idle [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]] production.description}}
Idle BPS bonus becomes active if the player hasn't tapped on the main screen for over a minute. It is indicated by the Bacteria changing color to <span style="color:orange">'''orange'''</span>. Pressing on any of the menu buttons or the '''[[Red Bacteria]]Main page:''', or a [[Nanobots|'''Nanobot''']] does not break the idle BPS bonus. Idle BPS bonus can be obtained and increased from [[Upgrades#Gene Strand Upgrades|Gene Strand upgrades]] and [[Evolved Bacteria]]. It can also be boosted with the '''[[Dark Frequencies]]''' technology in the [[Dark Matter Institute]]. However, Dark Frequencies only doubles the current idle BPS, so a player with 0% idle BPS bonus doesn't benefit from this technology.
