Dataset for proteomic analysis of cells under cadmium stress.

Cadmium is one of the most hazardous heavy metal for aquatic environments and one of the most toxic contaminants for phytoplankton. This work provides the dataset associated with the research publication "Effect of cadmium in the microalga : a proteomic study" [1]. This dataset describes a proteomic approach, based on the sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion spectra mass spectrometry (SWATH-MS), derived from exposure of to 250 µM Cd for 40 h, showing the proteins that are up- or downregulated. The processing of data included the identification of the protein sequences equivalent to the corresponding of sequences obtained, which made possible to use KEGG Database. MS and MS/MS information, and quantitative data were deposited PRIDE public repository under accession number PXD015932.
