Why do bacterial plasmids carry some genes and not others?

abstract：:Dictyostelium mucoroides plasmids Dmp1 and Dmp2 are naturally occurring compatible members of the Dictyostelium Ddp1 plasmid family found in the same wild isolate strain. The nucleotide sequences of Dmp1 (5983 bp) and Dmp2 (6018 bp) are 74% identical and each carries open reading frames (ORFs) similar to the G1 and G5...
