This is in actually the case with an extracellular construct: two bands in
the periplasm, one (smaller) in medium.
With the cytoplasmic construct, I only see one band (I guess this is
somewhat logical, see below).

With the cytoplasmic construct, it's mostly in the medium. A significant
amount is also in the periplasm. But in fact I don't see much at all in
inclusion bodies (the extracellular constructs do more of this).
