=Bacteria Mutations=The ability to mutate [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved BacteriaMain page:''']] is unlocked after destroying 4 [[planetsBacteria Evolution]].
Mutation requires two Bacteria of equal level and always gives one Bacteria of a higher level as a reward. The rarity of the mutated Bacteria is the same as the rarity of the used Bacteria. If they are of different rarities, the mutated Bacteria will have a random rarity in the same range, so it is not possible to obtain a higher rarity Bacteria through mutation.==Colony Irradiation=={{colony 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. Cleaning takes 2 hours and requires 2 {{colony irradiation table}}'''Main page:''' [[File:Scientist.png|20px|link=http://wiki.bacterialtakeover.com/index.php?title=Resources#ScientistsColony Irradiation]]
