The plastid wiki might be germane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastid Edit: "It was a type of algae called Braarudosphaera bigelowii. Hagino fondly just calls it Bigelowii." Is this pronounced bigggie-lowie?

It’s presumably named after Henry Bigelow (like several other things in oceanography), so my guess would be /bɪɡəˈlə͡ʊwi.a͡ɪ/.

  Yes, but based on parent's comment, they will now live forever in my head as Biggie-Lowies.
