Short-term adaptation as a tool to improve bioethanol production using grass press-juice as fermentation medium.

Grass raw materials collected from grasslands cover more than 30% of Europe's agricultural area. They are considered very attractive for the production of different biochemicals and biofuels due to their high availability and renewability. In this study, a perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) was exploited for second-generation bioethanol production.
