A natural process of mineralization of organic and inorganic compounds through various microbes is called biodegradation. These microbes are bacteria, fungi and algae (Rutkowska et al. 2002). An essential step in the biodegradation is dehalogenation of organohalogen compounds catalyzed by different dehalogenases (haloaciddehalogenases, halohydrindehalogenases and haloalkanedehalogenase), which have the capability to dehalogenate the aliphatic and aromatic compounds (Janssen et al. 2005). The fluoroacetate degrading bacteria are Acinetobacter,Arthrobacter, Aureobacterium, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Streptomyces and Weeksella (Kumar and Haripriya 2013) with Synergistetes (a single ruminal bacterial phylum) which shows the ability to degrade sodium fluoroacetate (Leong et al. 2010, Davis et al. 2011) (Table 2).

Sodium fluoroacetate (common commercial name 1080) is an organofluorine pesticide, developed in the 1940s, and used broadly (under strict regulation) in countries such as the United States, Australia, and New Zealand to kill unwanted vertebrate invasive species (Goncharov et al. 2006; Proudfoot et al. 2006). It is an odorless, white, nonvolatile powder that is highly water soluble. As such it is typically sold commercially as either a formulated liquid to dose baiting material or pre-made impregnated baits. The high toxicity of sodium fluoroacetate to vertebrate mammals is attributed to its interference in cellular energy production via inhibition of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (Peters et al. 1953; Buffa et al. 1973; Eason et al. 2011). Lethal doses typically result in the death of animal pests within 6–48 hr after eating baits.

Pests in New Zealand are controlled in different ways depending on the target species (Goldson et al. 2015). Perhaps most controversial is the widespread use of 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate), a metabolic poison effective against mammalian pests (McIlroy 1994). This toxin is controversial due to its broad toxicity, resulting in public resistance to its use (Eason 2002). 1080 can be distributed from the air, making it the cheapest and most effective pest control tool for the rugged, heavily forested terrain that makes up much of New Zealand (Wright 2011).
