=Bacteria Mutations={{nanobot production description}}The ability to mutate [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved Bacteria''']] is unlocked after destroying 4 [[planets]].{{nanobot production table}}
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.{{main page|title = Nanobots}}
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 ==Planetary Research==<div class="page_icon" style="padding-top:20px">[[File:ScientistGathering soil samples.png|20px|link=http://wiki.bacterialtakeover.com/index.php?title=Resources#Scientists100px]]</div>

Even though higher level Bacteria generally have better stats, it is possible to mutate a Bacteria with weaker stats if A and B are of different '''rarities'''. {{bacteria irradiation}}{{bacteria irradiation table}}
