=ModifiersBasics=Most research actions are influenced by the [[Reduced Research Time|reduced research time]] modifier, which is obtained from various [[Dark Matter Institute]] technologies and equipped [[Evolved Bacteria]].
Other bonuses ==Research Time==[[File:Research ad.png|thumb|200px|right|The option to cancel the research appears if you press and modifiers are usually specific to a particular hold on an active research type, such as [[Sleeper Agentsaction]], which increase the max limit of <div class="page_icon_small">[[Planetary ResearchFile:Time.png|planetary research100px]] discoveries.</div>

In Canceling a research action will cause all the case of unsuccessful evolution, progress to go to waste and return the amount of regular Bacteria earned equals current [[BPSScientists]] multiplied by to the research duration in seconds and a random number in the range from 0.05 to 0.2player.

==Bacteria Mutations==
The ability to mutate [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved Bacteria''']] is unlocked after destroying 4 [[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.
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]]
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]]'''.

===Mutation Results===
::::::::::::When calculating the mutation results, the [[Evolved_Bacteria#Effect|'''effects''']] of Bacteria A and Bacteria B play an important role.
Mutating 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, so Bacteria with better effects usually give better results.
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'''.
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.
