This article presents the draft genome sequence of Actinoalloteichus caeruleus strain 372, isolated from saline soil in Kazakhstan. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina platform, followed by de novo assembly with SPAdes. Genome quality assessment using CheckM indicated 99.25% completeness with no detectable contamination. The draft genome is 6.18 Mb in size and contains 5,024 predicted protein-coding genes, 47 tRNA genes, and 22 CRISPR arrays. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis showed 96.27% identity to the closest publicly available A. caeruleus genome. Biosynthetic gene cluster (BGCs) analysis using antiSMASH v8.0.4 identified 31 predicted clusters, including NRPS, PKS, NRPS-PKS hybrids, terpenes, and RiPPs. These data expand the genomic resources available for the genus Actinoalloteichus.
