title: [Biosensors in biotechnology and medicine].
abstract: The work is a review of the state-of-art of research in the field of biological sensors. The enzymatic and immune biosensors are described. Problems concerning application of microorganisms as biosensors have been reported in detail. The use of luminescent bacteria and luciferase sensors is under discussion. The principles of operation of fibrous-optic and semiconducting biosensors are stated.
