The plastid wiki might be germane.

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.
