Microbial enzyme secretion model needs to be improved #760

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At the moment microbes secrete enzymes as a fixed maintenance cost, and these enzymes are assumed to have exactly the same stoichiometry as the group that secreted them. This assumption works for our current purposes, but really cannot capture the complex cost decisions that mycorrhizal fungi make. So this model needs to be improved.

Describe the solution you'd like
I don't have a worked out solution for this yet, it probably needs some mulling over. I think a sensible aim is to try to capture key differences between taxa, rather than attempting to tackle the very thorny problems of microbial decision making processes. (at least for the time being)
