C:N Ratio and ammonia production

Greetings,

We recently grew a bacterium in liquid meida using Difco
Tryptic Soy Broth.  When we harvested the bacteria we
noticed that there was a smell of free ammonia.  

Does this indicate that perhaps there was not enough CHO
source in the media?  If this were a compost pile that would
be the problem.  

Any ideas?

Thanks,
