How can I convert a matrix into matlab form?

matrix2Matlab[matrix0_] :=  Module[{matrix = matrix0},   "[" <> StringReplace[    ExportString[matrix, "CSV"], {"\n" -> ";", "," -> " "}] <> "]"]

matrix2Matlab[m = IdentityMatrix[3]]

(*
    [1 0 0;0 1 0;0 0 1]
*)

Are there more simpler ways?

I use MATLink to deal with the string matrix.
