Anaerobic digestion is achieved through cooperation among various types of microorganisms, and the regulation of microbial communities is key to achieving stable system operation. In this study, the r/K selection theory was adopted to examine the system performance and microbial characteristics in anaerobic reactors with different operating modes (continuous-flow reactors, CFRs; sequencing batch reactors, SBRs) and sludge retention times (25 and 10 days). Four lab-scale reactors (CFR25d, CFR10d, SBR25d, and SBR10d) were operated. In the cycle reaction, CFR25d achieved the highest methane yield (678.0 mL/L) and methane production rate (140.8 mL/(L·h)); while those in CFR10d were the lowest, which could have been due to an accumulation of volatile fatty acids. CFR could wash out r-strategists efficiently, such as Methanosarcina. CFR25d and CFR10d significantly enriched the K-strategist Geobacter, with the relative abundances of 34.0% and 72.6%, respectively. In addition, the hydrogenotrophic methanogens of Methanolinea and Methanospirillum (K-strategists) dominated in CFR25d and CFR10d. Methanobacterium adapted to the diverse operational conditions, but the slow grower Methanosaeta only accounted for 0.9% in CFR10d. Failure to enrich propionate oxidizers resulted in a functional absence of propionate degradation in the CFRs.
