without additional biomarkers. The first problem may be solved
by the creation of a fiber optics bundle, which on each fiber can
immobilize various bioreporters sensitive to different toxicants
[32], while the second problem may be solved in two different
ways, by creating SPR-based fiber optic biosensors or by using
bioluminescent bacteria that do not need any additional additives
and may produce light in the presence of pollutant [16]. Figure 3.2
summarizes some advantages and disadvantages of fiber optic
biosensors.
