I'm not claimining to have a degree in planetology but AFAIK:

Oxygen is a byproduct of organic life...
Carbon oxides are too dense a gas to create a gas giants atmosphere... any would be compressed into a solid "frozen" core.

Gas Giants can be huge and very massive... but they have EXTREMELY low densities (that's what makes them a GAS giant)... so if the gases would contain "resources" then siphoning is possible... but GAS dosen't, any resouces would be formed in a compressed "core", which can be quite large... but is comprized of mostly frozen gases...

again, this is to the best of my knowledge, but I am somewhat informed.
