Subject: Convert 2d matrix into several 1 D array

Can anyone please help me with the following :

a=[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9]

i want to change it into 
b1=[1 2 3]
b2=[4 5 6]
b3=[7 8 9]

i have tried using a for loop 
j=0;
for i=1:1:3
bi(j+1,:)=a(((3*j)+1):((3*j)+3))
j=j+1;
end

The issue is i am not having b1, b2 and b3 (seperate arrays) but only 1 b3.

i want matlab to understand that i need 3 seperate arrays .

regards

amith
