design: RNA extracted with QIAWave RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen) from Methylomicrobium album BG8_1aa grown under either pH 6.8 or pH 4.0 conditions; bacterial rRNA depletion and strand-specific Illumina-compatible library prepared by Genome Qubec; sequenced as 2 x 100 bp paired-end reads on an Illumina NovaSeq targeting ~25 million read pairs per sample
