==Bacteria MutationsNanobot Production==The ability to mutate [[Evolved BacteriaResources#Nanobots|'''Evolved BacteriaNanobot''']] production is unlocked after destroying 4 5 [[Planets|planets]].
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.{{nanobot production description}}{{nanobot production 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]]Nanobots}}
The default mutation cap is Level 3, which can be raised to Level 4 with '''==Planetary Research==<div class="page_icon" style="padding-top:20px">[[the Ultimate Life Form]]''' tech at the '''[[Dark Matter InstituteFile:Gathering soil samples.png|100px]]'''.</div>
