Abstract
Results showed that both the specimen microstructure and roughness of the surface play a key role in the colonization of clay bricks because they were able to provide more nutrient to the algal cells anchored to the surface. The TiO2 nanocoating was able to inhibit the biofouling of clay bricks irradiated with UV-A light, except in the case of high porous rough specimens.
