Plasmid DNA is an extra-chromosomal DNA molecule, it cannot link up with chromosomal DNA, and it contains the genetic informations that are necessary for its own replication. Episomes is any kind of extra-chromosomal DNA that can link up with chromosomal DNA. That is the main difference between them two. Episomes are usually larger than other extra-chromosomal DNA. An example of episome are the viruses, because they intergrate their genetic material into the host's chromosomal DNA.The only difference between the plasmid and the episome is the integration i-e plasmid can not integrate while episome can integrate into the genome.
Plasmids do not usually integrate into the main genomic DNA, but transposons do.
Orginal Plasmids are extra chromosomal genetic material present in eukaryotes and some prokaryotes.Recombinant plasmids contain a gene of intrest ie,individual gene carrying a specific function can be inserted in to a specific site on original plasmid in cell culture via transformation.So the recombinant plasmid contain both gene of intrest and native genes.
A vector is a plasmid (usually) that has been engineered to readily accept foreign DNA via recombination. There is also usually special genes previously inserted which code for something that would allow you to distinguish between the colonies which have taken the vector up and which have not, after transformation. A plasmid is the type of DNA baceria usually have - it is circular. There are different names for different sizes and shapes of DNA.
cosmids can accept insert fragments of DNA from 30-50 kilobases but plasmids can only accept inserts that are up to 15kb only.
Plasmid Exchange is the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through direct cell to cell contact, or through a bridge-like connection between the two cells.

Recombinants take up the plasmid but do not incorporate it into the DNA. Transformants take up the plasmid and integrate it into the DNA. Recombinants wouldn't express the new genes while Transformants will.

When the original function of the gene in the plasmid is altered or another gene is inserted in the non- coding region of the plasmid is called the recombinant plasmid.
