The algae is probably getting too many nutrients and/or too much light.
From my experience, that's not unusual with those terminals.  It may have 
something to do with the phosphors. 

You might try keeping the dust cover on (whenever practical).  Most of the 
problematic algae grows faster in the range 70-107 degrees F, so it would
also be desirable to keep the a/c down low, especially during the summer 
months when natural lighting is at its peak.  There's also a commercial
algaecide called "Mr. Fungus", which also works to cure atheletes' foot.
I personally haven't tried it for either problem, but it may just do the 
job.

I'm a little perplexed by a leakage problem with my DT80/1-am.  It's been
staining my desktop lately.  I've had the terminal for three years (from 
when the first -am model was introduced), and it just started leaking a few
weeks ago.  It doesn't seem to be getting worse, but I'm concerned. 
Any ideas?
