	<span lang=\"EN-US\">An accelerated water-streaming
test was used to evaluate several roofing materials regarding their behavior to
coloniza</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">tion by
algae, by closely reproducing the phenomenon of natural biological soiling. A
set of roofing materials with de</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">fined physical and chemical characteristics was thus investigated
against the colonization by algae. Porosity, roughness and chemical composition
showed to be factors of influence in the establishment of those
micro-organisms.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><o:p></o:p></span>
