Résumé : |
A great variety of algal genera have been implicated world-wide in the defacement and degradation of architectural paints, whether exterior or interior. This algal growth, particularly in the tropics, contribute to slow deterioration of structures, besides causing loss to the cosmetic and aesthetic appeal of the buildings, thus making early repainting necessary, which results in the increase of maintenance cost. These financial implications have led to the development of newer architectural paints resistant to excessive microbial biofouling. The efficacy of added biocides depends on minimum inhibition concentration required to inhibit the growth of individual alga and hence it is very essential to study the complete profile of algae attacking the architectural paints. |
