In case of unsuccessful evolution, the player will earn regular [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]]. In the case of unsuccessful evolution, the amount of regular Bacteria earned equals current BPS multiplied by the research duration in seconds and a random number in the range from 0.05 to 0.2.

Successful irradiation doubles the production of a random [[Colonies|'''colony''']]. Unsuccessful irradiation yields some [[Resources#==Bacteria|Bacteria]]. One colony can be irradiated multiple times.Evolution=={{bacteria evolution}}
The irradiation effect is lost when entering a '''[[Black Hole]]''' and the colonies have to be irradiated again.{{bacteria evolution table}}

=Bacteria Mutations=Colony Irradiation==The ability to mutate [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved Bacteria''']] is unlocked after destroying 4 [[planets]].{{colony irradiation}}
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 table}}'''Main page:''' [[Colony Irradiation]]
Mutation ==Nanobot Production==[[Resources#Nanobots|'''Nanobot''']] production is instantaneous and it requires no Scientists. However, unlocked 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 destroying 5 [[File:Scientist.png|20pxPlanets|link=http://wiki.bacterialtakeover.com/index.php?title=Resources#Scientistsplanets]].
The default mutation cap is Level 3, which can be raised to Level 4 with '''the Ultimate Life Form''' tech at the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]'''.{{nanobot production description}}{{nanobot production table}}

==Planetary Research==<div class="page_icon" style="padding-top:20px">[[File:Mutation exampleGathering soil samples.png|left100px]]==Mutation Results==</div>
::::::::::::When calculating the mutation results, the [[Evolved_Bacteria#Effect|'''effects''']] of Bacteria A and Bacteria B play an important role.{{Planetary research description}}
Mutating Bacteria with similar effects gives a better chance to obtain a good result.{{main page|title = Planetary Research}}
Mutation results are calculated by taking the average values of ==Bacteria A and Recycling==<div class="page_icon" style="padding-top:20px">[[File: Bacteria Brecycling.png|100px]]</div>
Even though higher level Bacteria generally have better effect, it is possible to mutate a Bacteria with weaker bonuses, especially if A and B are of different '''rarities'''. {{bacteria recycling description}}
