Final methane potential (mL CH4/g VS) and time taken to reach 100%, 80%, and 50% of this potential with cellulose, grass–manure mixture, and milled feed wheat (MFW) substrates for the two different inocula (GB, GC) in the biomethane potential (BMP) test. The methane values were standardized to normal atmospheric pressure (273.15 K, 1 bar).
