Fusarium  wilt is an important disease of many food crops and often causes serious damages to yield and food quality. Consequently, numerous studies mainly focused on exploring the control strategy for  Fusarium oxysporum  as well as the mechanism of interaction between the  F. oxysporum  and other beneficial soil microorganisms. In this study, we have screened and identified an efficient biocontrol strain from the soil with infection of  F. oxysporum  f. sp.  momordica  (referred to as Fom),  Talaromyces purpurogenus  Q2 (referred to as TpQ2), which could be effective to reduce relative abundance of the rhizospheric Fom, leading to a significant decrease of  Fusarium  wilt disease incidence in bitter gourd during the greenhouse and field trails. TpQ2 can reduce the relative abundance of rhizospheric Fom through inhibition of growth and development of Fom. During the co-cultivation of TpQ2 and Fom, we confirmed that TpQ2 could significantly suppress the growth and development of Fom through disturbing the normal hyphae shape and function of the cell walls of Fom  via  secreting cell wall–degrading enzymes and suppression of the expression of cell wall biosynthesis genes, such as  FomCFEM . In the meantime, TpQ2 showed a strong negative correlation with  F. oxysporum  in soil and positive correlation with beneficial indigenous microorganisms that had significant negative correlation with  Fusarium  populations, such as  Streptomycetes, Lysobacter , and  Sphingobium.  To summarize, TpQ2 has a good biocontrol efficacy on  Fusarium  wilt of bitter gourd. The biocontrol mechanisms of TpQ2 on  Fusarium  wilt are complex and diverse.
