The majority of ARGs are present in intracellular forms (in bacteria). Neglected aspects are extracellular variants of ARGs (eARGs) and their fragments, which have been detected in surface-water samples and sediments. The stability of eARGs is expected to be low; however, binding to particulate matter is likely to improve their stability and also affect their transport and dissemination behavior. Few studies have investigated DNA particle interactions, mostly via indirect characterization of adduct formation in model systems but not in real environmental matrices. Therefore, our study aims at a novel approach for direct characterization of desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) particle interactions using both cascade filtration and field-flow fractionation. Cascade filtration with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) detection indicated retention of ARGs on filters with much larger pore sizes supporting the hypothesis of ARG-particle interactions. However, artifacts from membrane clogging or DNA–membrane interaction cannot be excluded. Consequently, asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation was investigated as an alternative separation technique with the advantage of particle separation in a thin channel, reducing the risk of artifacts. The key method parameters, membrane composition, molecular weight cut off, and carrier composition, were systematically investigated using a calf-thymus DNA-spiked surface-water sample as a model. The results clearly showed a shift in the elution time of clay particles suggesting the presence of DNA–clay adducts. Multi-element detection by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) enabled monitoring of clay via the Al, Fe, and Si signals and DNA via the P signal. Matching peak profiles for the new fraction in the fractograms of the ARG and DNA-spiked water sample support adduct formation. Further evidence was provided by a novel post-channel filtration approach for the separation of free DNA from DNA–clay adducts. 000908476 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-2151$$a2151 - Terrestrial ecosystems of the future (POF4-215)$$cPOF4-215$$fPOF IV$$x0 000908476 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 000908476 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aStelmaszyk, Lara$$b1 000908476 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)188714$$aPiel, Sandra$$b2 000908476 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aTiehm, Andreas$$b3 000908476 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2711776-5$$a10.3389/fchem.2022.919442$$gVol. 10, p. 919442$$p919442$$tFrontiers in Chemistry$$v10$$x2296-2646$$y2022 000908476 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/908476/files/Published_Version.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000908476 8767_ $$d2022-12-26$$eAPC$$jDeposit$$z2507,50 USD 000908476 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:908476$$pdnbdelivery$$popenCost$$pVDB$$pdriver$$pOpenAPC$$popen_access$$popenaire 000908476 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)157638$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000908476 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-Juel1)157638$$a ZEA-3$$b0 000908476 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-Juel1)188714$$a ZEA-3$$b2 000908476 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-215$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-210$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-200$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-2151$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Erde und Umwelt$$lErde im Wandel – Unsere Zukunft nachhaltig gestalten$$vTerrestrische Umwelt und Wasserressourcen: Dynamiken unter globalem Wandel und Klimawandel$$x0 000908476 9141_ $$y2022 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2021-02-04 000908476 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2021-02-04 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0700$$2StatID$$aFees$$d2021-02-04 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0561$$2StatID$$aArticle Processing Charges$$d2021-02-04 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bFRONT CHEM : 2021$$d2022-11-30 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2022-11-30 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2022-11-30 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0501$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ Seal$$d2021-05-13T10:38:39Z 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ$$d2021-05-13T10:38:39Z 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bDOAJ : Blind peer review$$d2021-05-13T10:38:39Z 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2022-11-30 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2022-11-30 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences$$d2022-11-30 000908476 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9905$$2StatID$$aIF >= 5$$bFRONT CHEM : 2021$$d2022-11-30 000908476 915pc $$0PC:(DE-HGF)0001$$2APC$$aLocal Funding 000908476 915pc $$0PC:(DE-HGF)0002$$2APC$$aDFG OA Publikationskosten 000908476 915pc $$0PC:(DE-HGF)0003$$2APC$$aDOAJ Journal 000908476 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)ZEA-3-20090406$$kZEA-3$$lAnalytik$$x0 000908476 9801_ $$aFullTexts 000908476 980__ $$ajournal 000908476 980__ $$aVDB 000908476 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000908476 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ZEA-3-20090406 000908476 980__ $$aAPC
