Resources in Bacterial Takeover include unique collectibles like '''[[Minerals]]''' or '''[[Evolved Bacteria]]''' and basic currency like [[Resources#Bacteria|'''Bacteria''']] and [[Resources#Gene Strands|'''Gene Strands''']].
Most resources are lost when attacking [[Planets|'''planets''']] or upon entering a '''[[Black Hole]]''', but some — for example '''[[Diamonds]]''' and [[Resources#Dark Matter|'''Dark Matter''']] — are never lost unless they are actually used to purchase or research something.

=Gene Strands=
=Evolved Bacteria=
<div class="page_icon">[[File:Common grimmontella.png|120px]]</div> [[Evolved Bacteria ]] can be discovered through Bacteria Evolution at the [[Research|'''Research Lab''']]. A player can equip up to 3 Evolved Bacteria at one time, but there are no limitations as to how many Evolved Bacteria can be owned.
When entering a '''[[Black Hole]]''', there is a default 90% possibility that a evolved bacteria an Evolved Bacteria will die. Before entering, the player can secure two bacteria that will definitely survive. When the player destroys the fifth planet after the first Black Hole, [[Research#Bacteria Irradiation|'''Bacteria Irradiation''']] is unlocked. It is accessible from the Research Lab and can increase the black hole survivability of an Evolved Bacteria.

Diamonds are a premium resource that can be used to purchase:
*a permanent BPS bonus
*a permanent BPC bonus
*an extra scientistScientist
*bacteria equal to 6 hours of BPS
Diamonds can also be used to instantly complete research or reveal the results of bacteria Bacteria mutation. Most bonuses that provide incremental boosts, such as additional BPS, increase in price after each purchase.
Diamonds can be obtained:
*from microtransactions
*from daily logins
*by completing [[Achievements|achievements]]
*by watching ads
*by completing other actions in game (e.g. destroying the 10th 10<sup>th</sup> planet for the first time will yield 100 diamondsDiamonds) Unlike most resources, Diamonds are not lost when attacking a planet or entering a [[Black Hole]]. {{Main page|title = Diamonds|text align = left}}
=Nanobots=
<div class="page_icon">[[File:Nanobot.png|left|120px]]</div> The primary use of nanobots Nanobots is to kill the last percentage of a planet's population, which is usually harder to infect by using only bacteria[[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]]. Unlike in the case of Bacteria, attacking a planet with Nanobots causes to use up only those Nanobots that were necessary to destroy the planet. Similarly to [[Gene Strands]] and Bacteria, all Nanobots are lost when attacking a planet or entering a '''[[Black Hole]]'''. [[Research#Nanobot Production|'''Nanobot Production''']] is unlocked after destroying the fifth planet. Nanobots can be produced by [[Resources#Scientists|Scientists]]. After researching '''[[Quantum Robotics]]''' at the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]''', the player has a 0.1% chance to produce a Nanobot on tap. Dark Matter Institute also has various technologies, which increase [[Nanobot strength]] by 25%.
After [[Atreria]], all planets have [[Planets#Nanobot Production Resistance|'''Nanobot resistance''']], which reduces Nanobot strength. Nanobot strength is unlocked after destroying the fifth planet. Nanobots can be produced not influenced by scientistsadded [[Infectivity|infectivity bonus]].

[[Minerals]] are collectibles that can be discovered through '''[[Planetary Research]]''' or from destroying '''[[Planets]]'''.
Each Mineral is unique and gives some permanent bonus to [[Resources#Bacteria|'''Bacteria''']] production.
