'''Wild yeast isolation''', sometimes known as "yeast wrangling" or more formally [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioprospecting "bioprospecting"], refers to the process of catching wild , native yeast ([https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/autochthonous autochthonous] yeast), and isolating it with agar plates as a pure culture. This article will also contain information on growing up a ''captured'' culture in wort rather than isolating yeast cultures on agar plates. Culturing wild yeast and bacteria should not be confused with [[Spontaneous Fermentation]] because many of the microbes that might make a flavor impact during spontaneous fermentation are killed off during the wild yeast culturing bioprospecting processes.
