Detailed explanation-1: -Nonspecific lux bioreporters are typically used for the detection of chemical toxins. They are usually designed to continuously bioluminesce.

Detailed explanation-2: -1.4 Bacterial Bioreporters for Hydrocarbon Detection Classic examples of these include: BTEX compound detection by XylR or TbuT, phenol detection by DmpR, alkanes by AlkS, naphthalene by NahR, or phenanthrene by PhnR.

Detailed explanation-3: -However, the bioreporter is a specific fragment of DNA that is genetically introduced into the cell, while the biosensor utilizes a variety of biological molecules. The subjects of bioreporters and biosensors are too broad for a comprehensive treat-ment here, although other references will be suggested.
