- the cleaning solution according to the invention and the coating solution according to the invention are liquid and contain water, preferably softened water, as the main solvent, ie they are aqueous solutions in each case.
- softened water should be understood to mean both deionized water, demineralized water and distilled water.
- the coating solution contains at least one photoactive substance.
- a photoactive substance is understood to mean a substance which forms radicals, in particular hydroxyl radicals, by absorbing UV light in particular, and can therefore act as a catalyst in a photocatalytic reaction (photocatalysis).
- photocatalysis The phenomenon of photocatalysis is well known to those skilled in the art, for example from V. Parmon, et al.: IUPAC Glossary of Terms in Photocatalysis and Radiocatalysis, International Journal of Photoenerg, Vol. 4, 2002, 91-131.
- the photoactive substance is preferably selected from metal oxide and semimetal oxide particles, with particles of titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, iron (II, III) oxide ("magnetite"), manganese oxide, nickel oxide, cobalt oxide, molybdenum oxide and selenium oxide, and mixtures thereof, especially are preferred.
- titanium dioxide particles and silicon dioxide particles, as well as a mixture thereof, are very particularly preferred according to the invention, since these have a high photocatalytic activity per unit weight or volume and are therefore the most efficient in terms of photocatalysis.
- Most preferred in this regard are titanium dioxide particles, especially in the anatase modification.
- the metal oxide and semimetal oxide particles preferably have an average particle size (D50) of 0.5 to 2 ⁇ m, particularly preferably of about 1.0 ⁇ m, measured by a standard method in which a measuring instrument HELOS from Sympatec GmbH corresponds to the manufacturer's information was used.
- D50 average particle size
- the coating solution or, after application of the coating solution to the surface to be treated the coating formed has a photocatalytic activity. This means that the radicals formed during the photocatalysis by absorption in particular of UV light, in particular hydroxyl radicals, chemically attack organic impurities on the surface and in their depressions and at least partially decompose them. The organic contaminants activated in this way can then easily be biodegraded by the microorganisms contained in the coating solution or coating and ultimately metabolized into carbon dioxide and water.

- a lower concentration of photoactive substance in the coating solution than 0.001% by weight leads to insufficient photocatalytic activity of the coating solution or the coating. If the concentration of photoactive substance in the coating solution is higher than 0.3% by weight, undesired streaking can occur on the coated surface.
- the coating solution contains at least one microorganism from the group of magnetotactic microorganisms, at least one microorganism from the group of phototrophic microorganisms and at least one microorganism with an antimycotic effect.
- the magnetotactic microorganisms used according to the invention are preferably magnetotactic bacteria, i.e. mobile, anaerobic or microaerophilic bacteria that contain ferromagnetic iron oxide (magnetite) or iron sulfide (greigite) in crystalline form as particles, so-called magnetosomes, the diameter of which is about 40 to is 90nm. These particles give the bacteria the ability to orient themselves according to the earth's magnetic field and, together with the photoactive substance contained in the coating solution, can have a photocatalytic effect, i.e. form hydroxyl radicals that react with impurities and activate them for microbial degradation.
- magnetotactic bacteria i.e. mobile, anaerobic or microaerophilic bacteria that contain ferromagnetic iron oxide (magnetite) or iron sulfide (greigite) in crystalline form as particles, so-called magnetosomes, the diameter of which is about 40 to is 90nm. These

- the phototrophic microorganisms used according to the invention include both obligatory and facultative phototrophic microorganisms. Preference is given to using optionally phototrophic microorganisms, i.e. microorganisms which can grow both under anaerobic conditions in the light and under aerobic conditions in the dark.
- the microorganisms according to the invention can be both photolithotrophic and photoorganotrophic.
- the phototrophic bacteria which can be used in the present invention include gram-negative aerobic, rod-shaped and circular bacteria, and gram-positive circular bacteria. These can have endospores or be present without spores.
- Phototrophic bacteria suitable according to the invention are, for example, but not limited to, purple bacteria, green sulfur bacteria, green non-sulfur bacteria, beneficial or harmless cyanobacteria, prochlorophytes and bacteria of the Heliobacteriaceae family.
- Purple bacteria that can be used according to the invention are both purple sulfur bacteria, for example bacteria of the genera Allochromatium, Amoebobacter, Chromatium, Ectothiorhodospira, Halochromatium, Halorhodospira, Isochromatium, Lamprobacter, Lamprocystis, Marichromatium, Rhabdochromatium, Thermochromatium, Thiocapsa, Thiococcus, Thiscystis, Thiodictyon, Thiohalocapsa, Thiolamprovum, Thiodocpedia , Thiorhodovibrio and Thiospirillum, as well as non-sulphur purple bacteria, for example bacteria of the genera Rhodobacter, Rhodocyclus, Rhodoferax, Rhodomicrobium, Rhodopila, Rhodopseudomonas, Rhodoplanes, Rhodobium, Rhodospirillum, Rhodovibrio, Roseos
- Examples of green sulfur bacteria which can be used in the present invention are bacteria belonging to the genera Chlorobium, Prosthecochloris and Chlorobaculum.

- Suitable members of the Heliobacteriaceae family are, for example, bacteria of the genera Heliobacterium, Heliophilum and Heliobacillus.
- the multi-component composition according to the invention preferably contains in the coating solution a mixture of optionally phototrophic microorganisms comprising cyanobacteria, green sulfur bacteria, purple bacteria, green non-sulfur bacteria such as Chloroflexus and Heliobacteriaceae such as Heliobacillus.
- three, four, five or six of the bacterial forms mentioned are present in the mixture.
- the at least one photoactive substance contained acts as an activator in that the radicals generated during the photocatalysis chemically attack organic impurities on the surface to be treated.
- the activated organic contaminants can then be broken down biologically by the metabolism of the microorganisms contained into harmless compounds such as carbon dioxide and water, whereby the microbiological coating formed develops a sustainable, continuous and environmentally friendly self-cleaning and protective effect at the same time.
- the coating solution can also contain other microorganisms which have a positive effect on the multicomponent composition according to the invention. These include microorganisms with specific and non-specific antifungal effects. Lactic acid bacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria, archaea, fungi such as mold and yeast fungi, and algae are preferably used. Examples of lactic acid bacteria suitable according to the invention are those of the genus Lactobacillus, preferably of the species Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus delbschreibii, such as Lactobacillus delbschreibii subsp. lactis and bulgaricus, Lactobacillus fructosum, and Lactobacillus sakei.

- the microorganisms mentioned have representatives of lactic acid bacteria, the genus Pseudomonas and Penicilium have an antifungal effect.
- the microbial antifungal effect is caused both by competition for food and the formation of various biogenic organic compounds that restrict the growth of black fungi.
- microorganisms mentioned above are predominantly present in the coating solution as living microorganisms, usually in an amount of about 1 ⁇ 10 2 to 1 ⁇ 10 10 CFII/l. All microorganisms used in the coating solution are assigned to the lowest safety category 1 according to TRBA (Technical Rules for Biological Agents) 460 and 466.
- TRBA Technical Rules for Biological Agents
- the microorganisms Before they are added to the coating solution, the microorganisms are usually present in a nutrient medium which primarily contains vital nutrients and trace elements and which is added to the coating solution together with the microorganisms. Together, the culture medium and microorganisms form a mass of microorganisms.
- the term “mass of microorganisms” is therefore understood to mean the total amount of different microorganisms mentioned above, including the nutrient medium.
- the total mass of microorganisms in the coating solution is preferably in a range from 1 to 30% by weight, preferably from 5 to 25% by weight, particularly preferably from 10 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the coating solution.
- the initial concentration of the microorganisms in the coating may be too low to allow rapid growth of growth on the surface to be treated. If the amount of microorganisms is above this range, the storage stability of the coating solution may be reduced.
- the coating solution according to the invention contains at least one optical brightener.
