•Comammox clade B was widespread and more abundant than clade A along a plateau river.•Freshwater- and drinking water treatment plant-identified taxa dominated the comammox.•Comammox contributed more abundances and activities to nitrifiers at suburban reach.•Higher nitrate, nitrite or antibiotic con...
