From the University of Texas Algal Collection (UTEX), May 1985, as 470 twins/monsters

This mutant was UV-induced by Lewin, his M.470. It was described as having aberrant cell division, such that longitudinal division was arrested before completion, leaving pairs of cells still attached to one another. This appears to be an allele at the same locus as M.202 (CC-1886), which has a somewhat different phenotype.
