Resumen : 
We investigate the growth dynamics of microbial populations, challenging the conventional logistic model.By analyzing empirical data from various biomes, we demonstrate that microbial growth is better described by a generalized logistic model, the θ-logistic model. This accounts for different growth mechanisms and environmental fluctuations, leading to a generalized gamma distribution of abundance fluctuations. Our findings reveal that microbial growth is never sublinear, so they cannot endorse—at least in the microbial world—the recent proposal of this mechanism as a stability enhancer of highly diverse communities. These results have significant implications for understanding macroecological patterns and the stability of microbial ecosystems.
