A biosensor where measurement is able to be conducted by simpler operations, cost is less expensive and specific chemical substance is able to be visually detected is provided. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided 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.
