==Bacteria MutationsIrradiation==The ability to mutate <div class="page_icon_small">[[Evolved BacteriaFile:Irradiation_icon.png|'''Evolved Bacteria'''100px]] is unlocked after destroying 4 [[planets]].</div>
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.{{bacteria irradiation}}{{bacteria irradiation table}}
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 [[File:Scientist.png{{main page|20px|link=http://wiki.bacterialtakeover.com/index.php?title=Resources#Scientists]]Bacteria Irradiation}}
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]]'''.

::::::::::::When calculating the mutation results, the [[Evolved_Bacteria#Effect|'''effects''']] of Bacteria A and Bacteria B play an important role.
Mutating {{version history row|v = 1.15.0|changes = {{*}} Unlocking a new research type now also costs [[Bacteria with similar effects gives a better chance to obtain a good result.]]}}
Mutation results are calculated by taking the average values of Bacteria A and Bacteria B.
Even though higher level Bacteria generally have better effect, it is possible to mutate a {{version history row|v = 1.3.0|changes = {{*}} Added [[Bacteria with weaker bonuses, especially if A and B are of different '''rarities'''. Recycling]]}}
In most cases, Bacteria C will have the effects as either Bacteria A or Bacteria B. The exception is when C has more stats than A and B individually. The name of C is random and does not depend on Bacteria A and B.
