Try some type of a bactericialcide and use this to kill it. I guess you know what caused the growth,CONCRETE. It always cotains some type of moisture in it and having a hide on well you guessed it mold.
You may not be able to get rid of the stains just kill the mold that's all.

Hopefully Bruce may have a better way.
