a Schematic illustration for the pyroelectric bio-denitrification process by T. d-WS2 via heating-cooling cycling (3/30 min). b NO3− reduction by T. d-WS2 and deletional controls. c Typical time course of NO3− reduction by T. d-WS2 over three successive 5-day cycles. d Labeled 15N-KNO3 reduction by T. d-WS2. Signal intensity is presented in arbitrary units (arb. units). e, f ToF-SIMS imaging of 15N (e) and 13C (f) in T. d-WS2 (the inset images show T. d-WS2 without temperature variation); representative of 10 images. g Variation of the cell biomass in T. d-WS2 over three successive 5-day cycles. h CLSM images of T. d-WS2 (Red and green colors represent the dead and live cells, respectively); representative of 10 images. Data are presented as mean values ± SD derived from n = 3 independent experiments. Scale bars: 50 μm in (e, f) 50 μm in the insert images, and 20 μm in (h).
