The most common class of roof algea is Gloeocapsa magma, a bacterium that eats water and expels oxygen.  It causes the black stains you may see on your roof.  The black stains are buildups of algae that can prevent the sun from burning off the bacteria.  Roof lichen is a combination of both algae and fungus.

Roof algae is primarily a visual problem although it reduces the lifespan of your roof over time.  Since these granules are there to protect the roof from the sun’s UV rays, they begin to dry out as the granules wash away.  Most homeowners only realize they have algae when it causes ugly black streaks, dark spots, or green mossy fuzz on the roofing system.  Roof algae can also significantly decrease curb appeal.  If a homeowner is trying to sell their home, they may run into issues if they have roof algae.  This can decrease the home's resale value, until and unless a cleaning is scheduled.
