Bacterial growth often encouraged by additives in the system, which is why you should add inhibitor first then fill system to reduce the concentration in the tank.
Have a little Google for Bacterial growth heating tank, lots on there, I used to get it in my system before it was changed to a sealed one with the new boiler.
Seems Biocides are now available if you want to go that route, this from Fernox. http://www.fernox.com/problem+solving/how+to+sheets/avoiding+bacterial+contamination

Inhibitor was introduced into the full system via Magnaclean.
