Currently, mixed species models require the type of the population to be specified explicitly.
microbes = [MicrobeBrumley{1}(id=1), MicrobeBrownBerg{1}(id=2)] returns a Vector{AbstractMicrobe{1}} but initialise_model expects eltype(microbes) to be concrete, i.e. we must specify
microbes = Union{MicrobeBrumley{1},MicrobeBrownBerg{1}}[MicrobeBrumley{1}(id=1), MicrobeBrownBerg{1}(id=2)] to avoid errors.
This is cumbersome and should be managed either directly by initialise_models or by a new dedicated function that expands the microbe types.
