1. A biosensor for the detection of a specific chemical substance, characterized in that it comprises a recombinant purple non-sulfur bacterium wherein sensor vector is introduced into a pigment variant of a purple non-sulfur bacterium being deficient in gene coding for a spheroidene monooxygenase enzyme, and that the sensor vector is a sensor vector where inductive promoter showing a specific response to a specific chemical substance is connected in an operable manner to the upstream region of gene coding for the spheroidene monooxygenase enzyme.
