=Colony Bacteria Irradiation=Colony irradiation is unlocked only after destroying 3 5 planets past the first [[Planets|'''planets'''Black Hole]].
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}}

=Bacteria Mutations={{colony irradiation table}}The ability to mutate [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved BacteriaMain page:''']] is unlocked after destroying 4 [[planetsColony 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 ==Nanobot Production==[[Resources#Nanobots|'''Nanobot''']] production 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 mutationunlocked after destroying 5 [[Planets|planets]].
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|20px|link=http://wiki.bacterialtakeover.com/index.php?title=Resources#Scientists]]{{nanobot production description}}{{nanobot production table}}
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]]'''.{{main page|title = Nanobots}}
